Stand by your post, you are entitled to you opinion as I am mine. Bottom line is every situation is different, you may have a pup that can handle surgery at 11.5 years...someone may have a pup at 15 years that can handle surgery and thats great, but someone may have an elderly pup that they would not want to see see struggle and might not want to put them through the surgery.
Your comment that I referred to with my first post didn't address finances...so I am not talking about avoiding taking care of pups by just putting them down cause you don't have the money. The situation about people enjoying luxuries instead of paying for what their babies need...I think thats horrible. I would make major sacrifices to make sure my pup got the care she needs. |
I did not address the fact that the poster who made the comment also stated she might not spend the money. I wasn't referring to her, but now I am. She said she would not put a dog through a procedure if it was elderly, and she said age 12 was elderly (a fact in dispute in my opinion). So, she basically will care for her dog, up and until it gets too old or it gets too expensive. Now that is her choice and her dog, but I still think when you sign up to take care of a pet, you do it for life. Until death do you part....
