With 2-year-old Eddie, I'm afraid, I'd take out a second mortgage if I had confidence the surgery would make a profound difference in his life.

I will say this: Before I got Yorkies, I would probably have left it in fate's hands after about $1,000.

I know this question is evil. I was just wondering though and it kind of gives you a perspective of what might happen and talking about it first gives you some kind of "readiness". I personally would give anything for my dogs but not my hubby so when IF (I am crossing my fingers it won't happen) it happens, there would be a major clash in between us. Of course I agree with LauraMichelle that it also depends if my baby would be totally fine again after whatever is done. I am the kind of person that cannot see my baby suffer. Sometimes, putting an end to a suffering is better than prolonging it and sometimes it takes a lot of love to do that.
