Honestly? No. But I have to tell you Alf is one of the most expensive things I own other than my house, car and engagement ring. I think he's somewhere just south of £5k so far and rising. But that's health and not fripperies or the basics.
Nothing wrong with how much a pet costs or is worth surely. But excessive pampering... reminds me of Edna Birch in Emmerdale (forget the name of the dog, Toots?)
I searched to find this scene but it wasn't available as a stand-alone so I cropped it from the episode, number 4 in series 2 and this, Mrs. Chase and Prince!
"Manuel will attend to its heart's desires, I'm afraid I'm lumbered with people tonight"
"And bring another cushion - he's not quite high enough"
"Make sudden movements like that, of course he's going to bite - don't you have dogs in Calcutta?"
