I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | I am so upset...this made me cry....how can people be so cruel? Tonight I was talking to my mom about Tatum's LP and she said that my sister told the people at her work about her needing surgery, and how much it was going to cost and they said, "Omg, I would just put it to sleep" I just cried when my mom told me this. That REALLY hurt. I don't even know the people that said this, and they don't know me, OR Tatum...they have no idea how old she is or even what kind of dog she is, and they have never seen her...they just automatically said that because of how expensive the surgery is going to be. HOW....just tell me HOW people can be SO cruel? I just do not understand it one single bit I was so hurt and angry when I heard this, I was crying and I told my mom that I hope to GOD that these people don't own any animals....because if they do they sure as hell don't deserve them. You know what it felt like? It felt like someone was telling me to put my CHILD to sleep just because she needs a surgery on her knee. What she has isn't LIFE THREATENING...she has a messed up KNEE for pete's sake...why on God's green earth would I put her to sleep!!!! OMG, it just INFURIATES me to no end!!!! You know, I would take out a LOAN for my BABIES if I had to....that's right...MY BABIES...because that's what they are to me. They aren't just "DOGS" damnit...and frankly I am sick and tired of people out there who think it is so stupid to spend money on them when they need medical care. If you aren't willing to help them when they need it, they you don't need THEM to begin with!!!! It really hurts to know that there are ACTUALLY people out there who would just kill their dogs because they are too darn selfish to spend money on them and get them the help they need. That is why there are so many homeless and neglected animals in this world to begin with and it is just SICK!!! The ONLY reason, and I repeat the ONLY reason I would EVER put any of my babies to sleep is if they were SUFFERING and IN PAIN and they COULD NOT be helped. Otherwise, I would sell my house if I had to...to get them the help they needed. You know, I am really glad that I was not in that stupid room whenever these people said this...because I probably would have slapped someone. I know that it is just their opinion (all be it a SAD one), but sometimes I think people just need to keep their mouths SHUT. People out there have to realize that there ARE people alive in this world who consider their "DOGS" their "BABIES"....and they will go to whatever lengths necessary to help them no matter what the cost. I am still just so angry and upset about this...there is not one single spec in my body that will ever understand people like this. I wish someone could explain their thinking to me... I don't even know if it CAN be explained

| Aww. I'm sorry Brooke! I don't get why people need to give their (negative) opinion on things that they have absolutely nothing to do with. Look at it this way- at least the people that said it aren't people you know (and are friends with) therefore they don't matter.

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | I'm sorry too I can't STAND those RUDE remarks! Look at me - Rogan had the surgry twice on BOTH knees... BIG $$$$$$$$$$$$ Double. I got alot of comments "oh how much is THAT gonna cost you"!!!!! Didn't matter - whatever it took to make him feel better. |

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | And then my sister...she has always wanted a Yorkie since I got mine...well now she says that she doesn't want one because the "costs" that come along with them are too expensive. Well you know what, WHATEVER. I have told her I don't know HOW many times that LP is NOT just in Yorkies!! It is in all small breeds...so she better just go ahead and cross out the Chihuahua breed that she likes as well. WHY are people so clueless????? Do they not know that ALL breeds have their problems? They aren't just perfect little stuffed animals that you can throw clothes on to look cute. They are REAL...and they have problems and yes those problems can get expensive, but you have just have to DEAL WITH THEM. If you don't want to face the responsibility of owning a pet...then it's very simple...don't own one! Ahhh yes...and of course she thinks I'm nuts for WANTING to pay more to have her surgery done with an ortho specialist instead of just taking her to my regular vet and being done with it. OMG! She is just CLUELESS.

| Brooke, I feel your pain. When Bianca was 9 months old and needed her LCP surgery...people would say right to me "why dont you just put her to sleep/down".... I was like WHAT! SHE IS MY CHILD! NO! It broke my heart. HUGE HUGS TO YOU!

| Sadly, there are people like that in the world ... just consider the source! I totally agree with you and do not blame you for being hurt! I don't even want to understand people like that. We made a committment to Toto before we ever brought her home, that we would never do any less for her than we would do for our skinkids, regardless of the cost!! Don't let anyone make you feel sad and I will be praying for little Tatum!

| awww Brooke..i am soooo sorry..i know how that feels..i get rude comments from people all the time about how much we spend on our kids when it comes to their food and their vet bills! But you know what i used to get soo angry and cried too. But now i just tell them they are my babies and it's my money..Both me and my husband studied hard and work hard to get where we are and we can do whatever damn well with our money when it comes to my babies. I would not put a price tag on them..they are priceless. don't pay attention to those f***ed up people!!! they are just freaking bitter and jealous!

| People can be so mean They just don't know how much your babies mean to you! If they had any idea how much love is contained in these tiny little bodies they might understand. But, because they can't see it, they open their mouths and STUPID comes out!
