Financially related, I bought Teddy when I was still working making good money. I lost my job 1 week after getting him.Please remember I have already paid $1100.00 towards the bill.
I have a puppy plan at the vet and was looking into pet insurance.
I used up my savings, I decided not to go back to work until the end of the summer so that I could save money and also spend time with my puppy and my 5 y/o daughter so that I wouldnt have to pay daycare.

Why do you jump to judge me and make me trash without knowing anything about me or have the common courtesy to ask.
Part of the reason I asked for help in the first place is that I have spent the last 10 years volunteering with animal shelter and rescue groups, I have fostered many animals. I donate time, money (if I have it) and material things to any animal group who needs it.
I did not see anything wrong with asking for a little help and advise.

To those who supported me, even without knowing me and put the mean people in their place, Thank you keep in mind that Karma will resolve this situation, and no I am not scared off that easily. There are mean and judmental people everywhere you just have to look past them and move on to the good people trying to help.

No offense but why get a puppy if your financial status is not stable? Animals are like kids, THEY COST MONEY!! It is easy to see, I guess, falling in love with that cute little puppy. But an animal should not be purchased on a whim. That is how so many end up in shelters or euthanized. Hopefully you didn't get the puppy from a petshop

Glad to hear that Teddy is doing well. Don't listen to all the negativity. You don't have to be rich to have a dog.

Just think of all the people you made feel a little bit better by being their scapegoat for the day. People with lives so terrible they have to berate you and make you feel bad over the internet must be hurting inside. Don't judge them, just pray for them. ;)
