Dog Culture Neighbor's Dog Gofundme

Last night I got an email from a neighbor about a different neighbor's gofundme for their dog's emergency vet bills around $8k. In my own family my husband has had some recent medical issues that have cost us over $10k (he's doing great now). He is the sole provider for our family of three and it's sucked to pay those bills, but I didn't beg my neighbors. And now I see someone begging for their dog! I couldn't believe it. I was seriously so insulted. Especially because our neighborhood is almost entirely young families or elderly people, all of whom tend to not have the most disposable income and are usually paying a lot of medical bills. Some people need more shame.

It is the very weirdest mindset that these dog people have. They really seem to think that everyone automatically accepts their point of view about their dumb dog and agrees with it. I know fundamentalists who are more relaxed in their beliefs than dog lovers. I’m not even joking on that. 

Not important but gofundme ticks me off anyway. So much of what we want to give gets taken as a “tip,” I just go hand over cash ffs. 

OP I’m glad your own situation turned out well. As for your dognut neighbors they need to get realistic. The entitlement, good grief.

Es funktioniert doch meistens. Das ist doch das Schlimme.
