Nearly 5 years ago I moved from a rental flat in the oldtown to an even smaller but OWN flat near a big park (Vilnius looks like a forest when you are landing by plane - this is because of many parks). This was the point where my "I need a dog" became... well... I could simply start crying just thinking about it... Like a child. Then I heared about the first wolfdogs litter in Lithuania. Tried to contact
wolfin. Got positive answer and the price... Much too big for two students... I will not tell all the story, but wolfin then gave me a chance to have Brukne ("I want you to have her"
) and little by little I paid the price of my dog.
There were times where we had like
2 euros for two people for a week (for food). But the dog was always FIRST. She was always well fed, always had good vets, always most loved.
Now I am not having the best financial situation ever
but still my dog comes first than a vaccation/cosmetics/new shoes/evening out. And I will always think that a person who can not just pay 1000 or smth euros for a dog at once still can be a very good owner.
