A pet is A pet is A pet. We just spend almost four thousand dollars on our dog (a boxer) who very unfortunately succumbed to stomach cancer. This post made me think how far would I go for our one normal ball python. My unanimous family decision is... the exact same as if he was our dog. Although he doesn’t seek attention or probably even like being handled, he is ours and we are his we are his keepers and it’s our responsibility to give him the best possible life. Silent hill has restored my faith in humanity tonight.
