No dog is free.

How I Learned This: After spending a nice chunk of change on carpeting for my new house, my puppy has been systematically ripping it apart and peeing on it. The new couch is his bed. The new flat-screen TV is in constant danger of being pulled off its stand by the hyper pup. Then there’s the vet bills, food, and all the chew toys my wife inisists he needs. The dog came free, but has probably cost me about several grand in just a few months. At least I don’t have to pay for college.
