You are forgiven :AI have a confession to make
We have a dog.
We've had her almost 4 months now too.


The reason I didn't include her in the original SOA is because we get her treatment for her arthritis free as she's from the Dog's Trust. Also, her food is roughly £100 every 6 months and I included it in our budget.
She doesn't have insurance - we put money away for her and if she needed anything serious then we'd use the savings.
I hope I'm forgiven

She certainly looks healthy in her picture. Sad to have arthritis so young, but great for her to have a caring new home after what she's been through. I'm sure she'll give you lots of love.
