yes you are CLOSE,,,,,, he is not "just living with me because a home environment is better than a hospital environment for healing". He is my dog, I made a comment on another post that I FEARED would be misunderstood, I think that is why you are thinking he is "just living with me" but yes, I was to have adopted a healthy dog, yes, when we discovered the dog was sick my vet stepped up to make him well and yes is not charging me (had it been discovered before he was adopted that he was sick they would not have adopted him out, they would have kept him, treated him, cured him, then put him up for adoption, so here's how this went, the rescue team picked him up on a Monday as a surrender, took him to my vet, as my vet was holding him to check his teeth she said to her tech "this is Joan _____ 's dog, get her on the phone, My vet called me, said she has my dog, I asked what she was talking about, she said a male 2 y/o yorkie was just surrendered, something about him reminds me of matese (my lil girl that I had to have put down 6 weeks earlier) I asked what that was, she said his ears (my Matese had the biggest most beautiful ears ever) I told her I did not want a male dog because of the marking issue, she said he was neutered some mark, some don't. She said just come and see the dog. (They were having an adoption week end, that Sat, he was going to be showed for adoption she wanted me to have this dog) Because I knew I would never own a male dog and to appease her I went the next day (reason for the next day was they called me at 5PM, I have night blindness can't drive at night) , so I went, I saw, he came home with me, he is MINE). So I guess you can say she is in charge of his health care (although I don't like the terminology "in charge of") she is treating him. Again he is NOT "just living with me because a home environment is better than a hospital environment for healing". He is in his FOREVER HOME with me, and yes, when he is cured of this one issue I will be financially responsibility for all other medical issues that come up. NOT like as in Your dog, he IS MY DOG. not meaning to sound "snide" I know it's a bit confusing when you have to hop from page to page, but do you understand now?
