I do want to warn you though where there is one problem their are probably more. I love my dog more than anything in the world but at the time I had him I worked at a vet's office and got things at cost and still paid probably well over $5,000 in medical bills for him in the short 6 years I've had him. He has been so sick a lot of his little life and it is heartbreaking to go through, there were nights where I just held him and cried and worried if I would have to make the choice to euthanize rather than let him suffer. Luckily he has been in good health lately but it has not been easy to get here.
I know you probably are in love with this puppy but please think long and hard about the long term problems this little one might have. If you are up for it financially and emotionally go for it but be prepared- it is a long hard road......  from some one who's been there |
I agree logically with you here, and knowing the pain and the heartache and wondering always, is she suffering? Am I doing the wrong thing keeping her here...but then she lets me know and we go on...today alone was 300 for me with Mini...I've spent a fortune on her, I've gone without for sure, but at the end of the day I can't imagine not having her in my arms...I love this girl more and more everyday...I would do anything for Mini, for any of my pups...
