Do you have, or have you ever had (in adulthood), a pet that you would empty a small-to-medium sized emergency fund for to prevent death from an injury or illness?

, say what you want. I’m not going to put my family in financial trouble due to a pet.
As a child, I wrapped my first pet — a little guinea pig — in a quilting square I'd spent hours making, before putting him in the dirt. This was an upset in the family, because it was such a waste. I'm sure they thought that did something other than create distance.
