I was chatting to a few people at work earlier about Flora (piggy) and how she had to have emergency surgery this weekend for pyometra. I've now lost count of the number of people who have immediately asked 'how much did that cost you?' followed straightaway by... 'won't it have just been cheaper to buy a new one??!', or, 'you could buy ten new guinea pigs for that!'
Usually I just ignore the gentle teasing I get about being 'the mad rabbit woman' but this has made me really cross. Can you imagine how people would react if I had been talking about a dog or a cat that had been taken ill and then finished with 'oh, anyway, it was too expensive to treat it, I just had it put down and brought a new one'?? :roll:
Arghhh!!! People! There, I feel better now :lol:
