This disease is really just sucking the life out of her.  I didn't tell this to Nicole but I honestly don't think Daisy is going to make it.
Somehow I feel responsible for Daisy. Maybe it's because I was the one who Linda originally offered to sell her to or because I helped Nicole buy her but I feel an obligation toward her. I helped Nicole out with the vet bill last night (so far, it's very expsensive and I'm sure it will only get worse as this continues). I just feel like part of this is my fault because Linda offered Daisy to ME, not Nicole. I feel like Nicole has this huge vet bill and is suffering emotionally now because she's probably going to lose Daisy and it all could have been avoided if only I took Daisy in the first place and didn't pass her off to someone else (not that Nicole didn't want Daisy but it turns out she is very sick and probably not going to survive much longer -- and Nicole could have gotten a healthy dog which would mean that she woudn't be suffering right now). But I took the easy way out and just gave Nicole some money to help her buy Daisy and that was it. I feel so crappy today. I should have taken Daisy and then I would have been the one in this situation right now, not Nicole. It just feels wrong somehow that Nicole should suffer all this along because of a decision I made.
And I did this because I was getting a 3rd dog (Cali) and I didn't want to be overburdened with 4 dogs. How selfish and terrible is that? |
Jen,
You are absolutely NOT selfish at all! Are you kidding me? I am very sorry that daisy is not well but YOU are the one that provided her with a great home in the short life that she's had. She spent the last few months of her life in a great hime and with a loving mother all because of YOU. YOU even help Nicole pay for Daisy!! Who does that? Someone with a big heart with the well being of the pup in mind and thats YOU!
As for the vet bills, You helped pay for some which is more that alot of people would do. Daisy got one on one attention and care. What doggy wouldn't want that? Do not burden yourself with these thoughts because you are a great and loving person with a genuine heart. YOu gave Daisy a great home!
Now lets all come togther and hope that Daisy can pass this. Even if she doesn't, she lived a brief but good life because of YOU!
