I spent $200,000 on my dogs. I'm almost embarrassed to admit that, but their intellect makes them really valuable.

I thought this was on medical care for their dogs. Nope, acquisition. Huh.
Honestly this is the kind of ridiculous luxury shit I wish rich people would spend their money on. Bet those dogs are loved as heck, and improve the family's quality of life more than $200k of just about anything else. That's $200k that stayed in real economy without disappearing into the stock market black hole, into more "stuff" and pollution, or into inflating house prices by treating a fundamental need as an investment. Kudos to them!
