I am just so frustrated. I feel like I have been taken advantage of and I just can't wrap my head around WHY and HOW someone can do this to another person. I really am starting to believe that Stormy WAS ILL before I got her and that she had an underlying problem that the previous owner felt the need to keep from me. I told her I needed a healthy dog, one that wasn't sick and that was going to be healthy. I understand things can come up but I've had her since Oct. and some of these problems started as early as two weeks after I brought her home. I truly in my heart believe this lady KNEW and knew that if she told someone the real reasons she was selling her, not many would of wanted her. She was so pushy for me to take her asap and I was so naive. I was so heartbroken over my shihtzu pup dying that I was desperate to have a new companion. I really thought that Stormy was all the lady said she was to be. I spoke with her on the phone and she was so nice and seemed she knew what she was talking about. I wish I didn't rush into this now I am hurting so bad. I am crying as I type because it pains me so much to think about it. WHY can't my baby just be healthy?? I love her so much, she is so amazing and it hurts me to see her suffering. I have already spent close to 1,000$ if not more on her and I thought spending 1,000 on a pup was too much but now I know it was a big mistake because I could of easily saved and bought a healthy dog. The lady said that she never recieved the money I sent her for the dog and that she would take me to court, I told her at that time that I would take her for the leg surgery Stormy will eventually need, she didn't mention the money again. When my dog had two seizures I called her crying hystrically leaving messages and emails, not once did I hear from her. Not once did she ask how she was doing or if she is even alive any more. This lady told me she loved Stormy more then anything and that she was her baby. WHY was I so stupid to believe her?? I just feel she dumped all the problems on me without any warning. Now I am desperately trying to keep my baby alive. I am only 22 years old. I have a child of my own and I just finished college and owe $20,000 student loan. I am trying to get my wedding planned and we are struggling somewhat because I have been laid. I don't have the extra money for all these vet expenses and I feel so horrible about it. I don't know what I am suppose to do with her any more!! I am trying the best I can but I feel it's not good enough

I wouldn't have a problem caring for a dog with regular costs and possible emergencies but it seems that she has on going issues. Sorry for rambling but I just don't have anyone else to talk too about this.
