I am getting two Shorkies, not only for me, but also one for a friend, and I have some issues. First, she has more money than I do, but also a husband to help pay her bills. She says she only wants to pay 125 of the 400 dollars I will have to plunk down for these little babies. As you know, Toto is older and in pain sometimes and the pain is hard to control. I've gotten his knees unlocked, after lasers, but right now they are locked again and I've got a choice. Do all the work again, or have him PTS. I am thinking about that. Number one, the treatments are temporary, number two, he's old, blind, and deaf. He has also developed that Doggie Alzheimers, so at midnight, he wakes up and walks around the house, and keeps me awake. So I know that no matter what happens, the sun is setting on his doggie life! The point about Toto, is that I have some whopping medical bills coming up with him, and I am feeling regretful and resentful that I told her I might give her one for 125. I am afraid if I don't, she's going to be hurt or upset.

I've been a virtual recluse for the last five years as I've lived in new towns where I know no one, had a few injuries that left me in DUAL fracture boots, and have just generally been at home alone for much of the time. My ability to get online or the phone and call my mom, or my few phone friends has kept me going. When you are socially isolated like me, you often find that your friends, are also somewhat socially isolated. So, we do call each other every day to chat.

I am just starting to get out, and try to get on with my life again. It's really hard. I don't want to lose a friend over this! How would you say that you need her to pay the 200 dollars? I have BTW, made a firm commitment to purchase. I'm getting the dogs THREE whole days before the owner (byb, by accident) moves to another state.

I have pics of them from a cell phone, but I can't figure out how to upload them on email, it's a small Nokia 6350 and I can't seem to get the photos on my yahoo accounts. So, no pics until they come home!
