We are not getting one from the pet store. We got Lacey from a pet store in Houma at the mall. It was called Pup and Pets and it closed about a year after we got Lacey. But, we were lucky with Lacey, she really did not have any health problems. She stayed healthy and rarely got sick. She had turned 13 on January 11th. And we still thought she was healthy. She took Christmas pics at Petsmart on santa and she looked the picture of health. She even flashed a doggie grin for the photos. But, around March, she completly lost her appetite. And she used to LOVE to eat. Even though it did not show. She never got over 4 pounds her whole life. She started drinking a lot more frequently and using the bathroom a lot. And her breath started smelling real foul. We thought it was her teeth. When we could not get her to eat, we took her to the vet. And she was diagnosed with kidney failure due to old age. We tried everything to save her. She only lived a few months after the diagnosis. It was very painful for my mom to put her to sleep, but she was in too much pain. And it was also just as painful to watch her suffer.
We probably won't get one at the pet store. There is only 1 pet store nearby and that is in Houma. And they want $850. There is no way we can afford that right now. I am still living with my parents. Because my current job does not pay enough for me to move out. My mom says she only wants a Yorkie puppy. A female. We put an ad and tried so far by word of mouth. But, no luck. There was an ad in our local paper, but it was male and they wanted $950! We are hoping to get one in time for Christmas or a little sooner. Oh, my name is Trish. |
