I am grieving still and very hurt, I don't feel comfortable bringing another dog yet and like I said not sure WHEN even. I was just asking what other people did after their pet died.
Yes I have looked into the costs, a c section is possible and costs 1,000 here. No I don't have insurance for her yet, looking into it. Secondly no I don't have a emergency fund. I have a credit card as well as family members who I could borrow $$ from in time of an emergency.
I've already mentioned what I can do to make sure another dog is safe and that is going to get all the training I can to ensure she is properly trained AND also wait until she has matured. If I do go ahead and breed her, which isn't going to be for some time as she is still too young, I probably then wouldn't get a second dog, I'd have pups to focus on. But since she can't be bred for quite some time we still have time to save. Once we decide this is what we want to do with her we will start putting money aside for emergency c-section, vet costs during pregnancy and for the pups, I won't breed unless I have that money aside, it wouldn't be a wise decision. |
This sounds great! All the right steps to ensure that your dog, possible future pups and your family are taken care of.
I never meant to offend you, please understand that Stormy and her story actually emotionally affected some people here. I followed her story, go back to your old posts... I responded to a majority of them. The death of Stormy affected me emotionally. My heart went out to her, seems she went through so much and then to have this happen just seemed sooo unfair to that poor baby. I want to share my grief with you a little bit because I want you to know my words to you were not meant to offend. My heart broke when I read those words. I cried, real true tears, for your Stormy.
My Stuart died when he was almost 5 months old. None of the vet care in the world could have saved him. He somehow, somewhere got into rat poison, never at my house, but I have a suspicion that my neighbor was using it around his garden which was against the fence adjacent to my yard. I could not have known. It was an accident. My first major trauma with a dog. My boys now live in a bubble. LOL I don't think you are a bad mom AT ALL. I know you loved Stormy very much. I do think you need more experience with smaller dogs. That is not a negative statement, nor an attack on you in any way. When you asked about how long some people waited before getting another pup, I think a couple people here felt that you should think twice about getting another yorkie when you have another larger breed in your home who is a puppy and who plays rough right now, that it might not be a safe situation with a pup. I am relieved to hear that you are looking into training for this bullie pup, thats wonderful!!
