Keeping Dogs in a Recession

We have all done it, gone out shopping or seen something we like and we buy it disregarding the cost of keeping it and especially in a recession. 

Why do we do it? http://www.clixsense.com/?3032288 Because the urge to own what we like is greater than the urge to be sensible. 

That is okay if it is an object we can stick in a shed or outhouse and forget it for a while , but if the object is a living breathing Dog then we are in trouble. That is all about commitment for the next ten to fifteen years. http://www.youmint.com/network-su01
�Oh no! I didn�t expect that. I�ll take it back,� you quickly retort. Your family disagrees and begs and pleads with you to keep it. eventually against your better judgement to give in. 

Everyone is happy, you are happy because you made your family happy. Your family thinks you are great, but underlying this is a sneaking suspicion that you can only just afford the upkeep. http://palmresearch.com/ref/1372161
Anyway the years pass and your dog has grown into a large dog, along with a large appetite. Your family is also growing with the added expense that comes with having to buy more expensive clothes, food, equipment ect. 

You have been able to just keep your head above water as far as money is concerned and everyone is happy. Then suddenly prices begin to rise and everyone including the government tells you that the country is in a recession and jobs may go. Your not unduly worried, because you know you job is relatively safe. http://trackin.affiliserve.com/?AID=203706&MID=161858&PID=7853&CID=3318070&CRID=33138&WID=35232"

One morning you get a letter from your bank saying the mortgage repayments are being increased, your wife tells you she needs more money for the shopping, your dog is sick and you take him to the vet. He needs a scan costing over a thousand dollars. Your credit card is taking a bashing. How are you going to pay your debts? 

You have to make a terrible decision: 

Struggle on and hope things get better financially 

Let your dog go and cut some of the expense in one go.
