I know that my reply is based on the emotional aspects of owning a Yorkie...I am thankful that we have members who try to consider the "whole big picture" when responding to a post such as yours. This is just another (very important) part of that picture.
This site is filled with people who "love" their Yorkies (and other pets) just as they love their children.
I know that most of the members who write in about their Yorkies illnesses , are seeking help and desperately trying to do anything they can to heal their precious pups. They are also seeking understanding and confirmation on their decision to spend their last dollar, if they think it will heal their furbabys or give them a good quality of life. This says that their baby is "worth" it.
Your post sounds like you are started out feeling this way about your Yorkie, however, upon finding out that she wasn't as picture perfect as the others, and having to now face another surgery, "even though you have plenty of money to take care of her,....she just isn't worth it.
I just can't help wondering if she had turned out to be the "Picture Perfect Yorkie that you now see she " isn't"...would you be refusing to help her any further as you are now?
I feel no compassion from you, for your Yorkie , at all. i realize that you , although making plenty of money, are willing to send her to "a rescue" , who will have to seek donations to care for her, because you have come to your limit as to what you think she is worth.
Where is the love you profess?
I am left feeling very sorry for your baby. You probably should see if you can find someone to take her , who will think she is worth it. The rescue is better than a resentful owner.
Sorry, It is not judgment of you , so much as it is compassion for what your precious little girl has to face ahead of her. |
