Have you ever purchased a dog without considering how you're going to pay for its food and how you're going to pay for its medical needs? Well, I have.

I really want a Siberian Husky” my sister Jazmin said as she slowly scanned through Craigslist ads.
After weeks of searching for dog adds we came across an ad, advertising a Siberian Husky. We called the seller of the husky and offered $250. We waited days for the seller to respond, finally about three days later, he said we could meet up any day of the week.

After days of begging our parents to drive us to Sacramento, my father got so fed up with us begging, he said yes. We informed the seller we would be going the next day. The next day was the moment Jazmin and I have been waiting for, we were going to invest all of our money on a dog. During the long car drive, that felt like years,“Hi, are you Jazmin.” he said. Jazmin responded saying yes. His reasoning for selling the dog was because he

There are many things to consider before adopting. First, bringing a dog into your life is a commitment of often, many years. Especially if you adopt a puppy. Adopting a puppy, you should be willing to commit 10-15 years on average, and be willing to take care of that dog through sickness and through health. Making sure all family members in the household are on board for this is also very important. Considering the ages of your family members is important as well.

“What if we got a second dog for Christmas and it was our only present?” My mom softly replied, “possibly, however you would have to understand you would need to acquire the care of it and train it.” Getting a puppy for Christmas was something I would put on my list every single year.
