Yes, there's definitely an ouch there 💰. My lad goes to the very best cattery in town, called The Hilton, and he hates every minute of it - for half the cruise at least I suffer horrendous guilt pangs 😢 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're very lucky where our dog is concerned. Friends of ours are Labrador breeders (bred our girl) and they are happy to board our dog. So she effectively gets a holiday as well, hanging out with her rellies on an acreage property. We supply all her food and they just charge us a nominal fee to look after her. No problem with the kids, they've all fled the nest.🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're spending you own money be it retirement savings or remuneration. How dare anyone anticipate a windfall from another's eventual death. Not a whole lot makes me cranky but this mindset really gets my knickers in a twist. Edited to say that I don't mean your mindset rather the mindset of younger generations.

We're never worried about her knowing that she is in the best of hands and paws. She adores the humans and has a ball with the 'pack'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assure you it is said “tongue in cheek” as my kids are definitely the biggest encouragers of me spending anything. i am incredibly proud that coming from a very working class background all my kids have done very well by working hard, putting themselves thru uni etc. so ski tours has always been a joke 😁😁🥰 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted July 17 #37 Share Posted July 17 It is our hard earned so we spend it as my wife wishes, whether that is helping the kids or booking more travel. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikeanswers Posted July 17 #38 Share Posted July 17 I use to be a cram as much in as possible traveller but that ended up being exhausting so I have slowed things down now and usually when I travel I stick to a region and explore that area. On the other hand I am also not a stay for two weeks in a city kind of person. I would like to think I found my travel groove😁. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
