When my Honey was diagnosed with Legg-Calve-Perthes we spent close to $2000 on her surgery - we didn't tell a lot of people exactly how much we spent, but they knew it was an expensive surgery. I got tired of defending what we did to people who thought we shouldn't have bothered.
It wasn't her fault anymore than it was your Joey's fault for what happened to him. When we adopt our dogs, we make a promise to them that we will care for them and most times that means more than just love, food, and shelter!
No one would have questioned us spending that kind of money on a child and Honey is like a child to us. We have a responsibility to our dogs to give them the care they need!
I know this is a tough time and we are definitely praying for you and Joey. |
