 Can't neuter him
Cosmo has very severe collapsed trachea and sounds like a duck when he breathes. He can't undergo the anesthesia because they have to stick a trachea tube down his throat. I can't afford one on one training now. I'm spending a lot of money keeping him healthy with his trachea condition. The condition only sounds awful, but it doesn't slow him down one bit.
I guess I'll try the pee pads again. I have a trunk full in my car since they've never worked. I'm just beginning to feel like there is someone who can take better care of him than I can. But then again, I don't think he's unhappy. I work from home and I'm with him all day everyday. I hike with them, play with him, feed him treats, meet all his needs. I'm the one who isn't happy in the relationship, but I think "rehoming" him would break my heart and make me feel like a failure. I don't quit at anything and I am loyal. My poodle is 11 years old and had some expensive scary medical problems, but I worked my butt off and even took medical training to help him get better.
I just don't know what to do. |
