Nick & I, in an attempt to be fiscally responsible, set a price limit on what we’d be spending for each other. Initially, this was annoying because I had several awesome ideas, but they were all … well, in the “bloody expensive” category. Like, 4-5 times what we agreed on eventually. Poop. Fine, so… $100 limit. No problem. Well, little problem. I did eventually find something I think he’ll like. (He’s also not crazy about practical gifts. Damnit! I’m ALL ABOUT practical gifts…)
So last night, I went shopping for Justice’s christmas presents. Figured I’d pick her up a dino bone (aka, cow femur), some bully sticks (aka, bull penis) and maybe a small toy. Well, I got those… and a new Orka toy, some NRG treats, a red bandana that says “Noel”, a new box of Greenies… total cost? $75.
This is not how one saves money. Dumbass.
You two could buy WoW gold for each other. It’s available up to your limit and is totally non-practical!
*shaking head*
Does she NEED all those things?
I just watched the show on Life or HGTV, or such, with the dog trainer that comes into homes where the dogs need training and the owners need re-training, and there he was dumping out boxes of dog toys/treats, saying, “this animal is spoiled.” So, when should we expect your episode? ;-)
Of course she’s spoiled. I WANT her to be spoiled. :D
She doesn’t need it all — but the bones and such are our christmas tradition. The bandana will drive her nuts, and is more for me. The treats are good for training. The orka toy replaces the one she wrecked. It’s all reasonable, really!
Meh, I like buying her things. She appreciates them. ;)
