Stupid Pet Peeves

This is really random but people that shorten names of dogs to something cute. Calling a rottweiler a rottie or a doberman a dobie. A girl I work with does it all the time and I want to punch her in the face every time she talks about her dogs.
 
Love my goldie, cairnie and morkie.

I guess while we're on the subject of pet peeves I don't like when my goldie blows her ACL and then blows the other one 9 months later. Surgery scheduled for next week for the $14,000 dog, not including normal expenses(she had a $7000 hospital stay 6 years ago).

Yeah, over $3000 per ACL(CCL) and over $7000 for swallowing a ball. Plus all her regular vet bills, food, etc. And she's completely trashed my (formerly)new wood floors over the last 5 years just by walking/running on them. She's only 10 too so there could be more vet bills coming as she ages. Then there's the possible health problems for the other two dogs. Dogs can be very expensive, but the reality is that they're worth it.

Growing up my parents would spend money for medical stuff for their aging pets and they always seemed to die very shortly afterwards. I decided then that if I have a pet that needs significant medical treatment I was not going to do it. I mean it would be situational, but for an older pet I'd try to give them the best quality of life possible short of surgeries and stuff and if they were suffering I'd euthanize them.
 
Our dogs are Pomeranian shihtzu mixes. So pomshits or shitranians I guess. I just shorten it to *****.

I love my dogs. I’ve had dogs in my house for all but a handful of years of my life. I will not spend more than 3x the cost to replace them. I have labs, which generally cost $300-$350. So I refuse to spend more than $1000 on one. Probably not even 3/4 of that TBH.
