Personally, I don't find it depressing but just good common sense to want to provide for our babies. I had a friend that has poms but said she would love to take mine in case something happened to both of us at the same time. She has always seemed to be as crazy about her poms as we are our babies. Then, talking to her the other day, she said she thought her oldest one had signs of diabetes. She said she was not going to do like I did and give 2 shots a day and stay on a strict scheldue and food. She said I am going to just let her live out her life. Well, I'm sorry but that changed my mind very quickly. She will not be getting my babies. I feel like they are a respondsibilty to the end, which includes all their health needs. If anyone doesn't want to take care of them and do what you can for them when they are sick, you shouldn't have pets. These our like our children. People can sure fool you. I would not have thought she would have had that outlook. This poor little dog has already gone blind and it could, (maybe) been avoided if she had of started her on insulin in the start. |
