Folks -

Most of you have been so understanding of my situation & I am thankful for that. Some of you have been pushing me closer to the edge of the cliff with your remarks that insinuates that I am a selfish person. i am not...trust me!

Timing
When Spanky got hit by the car it was around 5:15pm EST. I then met my uncle at the VET at 6:00pm. VET took xrays for a whopping $400 bucks. Everyone they recommended for the proposed surgery was gone for the day/wkend. We had no choice but to go the city to expedite this situation at hand. We left Brooklyn @ 6:45pm & arrived in Manhattan @7:15pm. Doctors examined the xrays from brooklyn & said it was pretty bad & that the right hip bone can possibly shift into one of his organs causing more damage. The bone would shift because Spanky wanted to walk so bad & he doest know better. (tears falling now) I been always there to protect my little man. Even those times I got attacked by other animals for him. Once we visited a friend with a cat (normally other cats just run away or find Spanky to be a very friendly animal). The cat tried to attack Spanky, so retract the leash pulling him to my chest. The cat jumps towards us while hover over Spanky, while receiving multiple stratches to my head, arm & stomach. Same thing happened with some pitt bulls, but they never bite him if I lift him high.

My fiance & I am coping with this very hard issue. I've even called around asking many for there opinions on what to do, prior to making my decision.
All would agree that it was time let go.

We're hoping the breeder we bought Spanky from has another little fellow available this weekend. It's so hard not having him around. We're sleeping in the bed & place his favorite toys on the spot where he used to sleep.

We have even found the proper insurance which would cover surgery like these.

In addition, I will always be a member on this forum regardless of those who call me selfish. At the end of the day when I pay 2500 to surrender Spanky & i'm laid off the next day, who am I going to turn to for help? I told you guys this economy is shaky & turning to your credit card as one person mentioned, is not a wise decision. That is why most of us are in so much debt, cause we rely on credit cards.
