Puppyfund?? Are you kidding?

First, just to make my opinions clear, I do not like Honeyfunds, especially knowing that the companies take a percentage. I know what it's like to much prefer money for a honeymoon or anything else rather than homegoods. That said, I would never do it, I definitely think it's tacky, and would not fund one. 

Now getting to my point... I also would not fund a HOUSE FUND, or .... A.... PUPPY.... FUND.... 
WHAT?! 

I went on an acquaintance's MyRegistry page. She had a honeymoon fund, a housefund, AND a PUPPY FUND, because "We want a puppy, but a puppy comes with expenses! Help us fund new toys, treats and costs with a new pooch!" 

WELL, I guess I can head home early, because my work here is done!

    If you can't afford to set up for the arrival for your puppy, you have no business getting a dog at all.



    This. My dog cost me $7,000 in surgeries after we'd had her about a year. How do people think they can afford to     keep a dog when they can't afford to get one in the first place?

    These are the same people that will most definitely have a BABY FUND or SEND MY KID TO COLLEGE FUND if they ever choose to have kids.

    I saw that a friend from college had this on their wedding registry... So disappointing. I also noticed that nobody contributed.

    ...They also already have two dogs.

    Because puppies are ZOMG so cute!

    Seriously, if you need to ask people to help fund a home or a puppy then maybe you are not in a position to get either.

    ~*~*~*~ EDITED BECAUSE WHERE ARE THE DAMN BOXES ~*~*~*~

    Quoted all of the above because truth. Our dog is now 11 - and she is way more expensive than she was as a puppy. You (general you) don't need a puppy - just like you (general you) don't need a honeymoon.

    I mean, I would LOVE a waterfront estate in the Hamptons, but I am NOT about to set up a Mansion-Fund for this.

    Let me guess: They want a super-trendy purebred puppy too! And not because they need a hypoallergenic puppy, but because ZOMG CORGIES ARE SO CUTE! TEACUP PUPPIES ARE SO PHOTOGENIC!

    At least their guests who choose not to contribute to that can choose from their varied selection of other registry items which include, but certainly aren't limited to:

    -A Samsung tablet
    -25 year aged vinegar
    -Several different "of-the-month" clubs including cheese
    -Several gift cards from different stores
    -Large furniture items (I don't know how you all feel about furniture on a registry, but for me it's a no. You should probably deal with purchasing a kitchen table before you decide that you need to register for that Kitchenaid stand up mixer.) 

    I wish I could share the link with you all!

    WHATUPBOXESSSSSSSSSSSS

    This.  Our "puppy" is 3 1/2 now and has easily cost us $10k in unexpected vet bills alone.  Were we so financially comfortable that it was no big deal to us?  No - we struggled but figured it out on our own, because adulting.  

    You're registering so people can help you afford toys and treats for it, but what happens when he's a year and has a freak accident where he breaks his elbow?  Or ends up with a mast cell tumor on his leg?  Oh, that's right!  I am an idiot.  That's what a GoFundMe is for.  Duh.

    MyRegistry.com was recommended to us when we first got engaged by a friend who used it.  At first I thought it was awesome because I could register at any store!  COOL!  And then saw the options for a honeymoon fund, house fund, puppy fund, etc and immediately deleted my account.  She had a honeymoon fund on hers and I'm pretty sure that almost no one contributed to it.

    the other day at Petco someone was looking for a gift for a puppy shower. As in, someone she knows is actually having a shower for getting a puppy. WTF.

    Adding a box ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I hear ya. A facebook friend of mine set up a GFM for her dog who needed a $1,500 surgery. She posted it directly to my wall because "I understand". I commented that "I understand paying for my dog myself" and deleted it. 

    File that right there under not my problem.
    Grossssssss.  I think this just happened to @novella.  Someone put up a GFM for an ailing dog and tagged her in it b/c "she gets it".  Nope.  As if the GFM wasn't vulgar enough - to try to guilt or embarrass someone into donating by calling them out like that is just sinking to a new depth.

    Whaaaaat? No. Just... No. If you can afford to adopt or purchase a pet, you should make sure you are able to get its essentials, like food and a bed. Honestly, I would LOVE to see that registry. Dogs don't require that many provisions (at least physically, not including human love and vet bills).

    Puppy showers are in, as long as its just celebration of your new pup and not a ploy to get the essentials because you can't afford them. It is also a great way to socialize the puppy with people and other dogs. I give you Modern Dogs Guide to a Puppy Shower http://moderndogmagazine.com/articles/its-dog-how-plan-puppy-shower/37535. Frankly I would rather attend 10 puppy showers than 1 baby shower.

    Let me be clear I am in no means endorsing putting a dog on your registry. That is bs, and I hate those people already.

    But the word "shower" implies that gifts are being given. There's nothing wrong with having people over to meet a new pup but Jesus Christ, a shower is ridiculous and to call it that makes me sad.

    First, just to make my opinions clear, I do not like Honeyfunds, especially knowing that the companies take a percentage. I know what it's like to much prefer money for a honeymoon or anything else rather than homegoods. That said, I would never do it, I definitely think it's tacky, and would not fund one. 

    Now getting to my point... I also would not fund a HOUSE FUND, or .... A.... PUPPY.... FUND....

    Or a GoFundMe to fund their own kids' weddings-on top of their kids' honeyfunds.

    So (apparently) are rompers worn by grown women, but that doesn't make them any less hideous. Just because a bunch of people jump on the bad taste bandwagon, doesn't make it a good idea.

    (BTW you too can look like an auto mechanic for a mere $128.00)

    well I do not mind more parties.  I do mind GIFT GIVING PARTIES!






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.
