:D I'm in.... (so now that I have some peoples attention), more on a serious note regarding more pet woes.
Ever since my last post 24 hours ago in regards to my dog having health issues, things have actually gotten worse.... and $500 dollars later, the vet still doesn't know whats wrong with him, and has decided to keep him in emergency another night. In the past month between both of my dogs, I have already spent almost $1000 from vaccinations, blood tests, my other dog has seizures, and now this one has some kind of viral infection and can't even lift his head..he is now on av's and I feel so bad for him.
My only problem is, I don't know how much longer I can take this...Financially it is killing me, but when I look at him, I feel like I am the one who is responsible for him...afterall, our pets do look up to us to take care of them.
My situation is this...I already had one dog who is a little older and is pretty much house trained. When I got a better job which called for 10-12 hour days, I made a decision to get my dog another companion.. I went online to a min pin rescue for poor animals that have been either mistreated or just left behind...so this is when I decided to adopt. It has almost been a year, and I have had so many problems with this poor fella. He has the greatest demeanor, but is just a pure rough, and kinda crazy dog...But lately he has been into everything, eats anything, and I have no control ove him anymore..
My debate is whether or not I should go ahead and put him back up for adoption. My family is a little disturbed with me because they said it would be irresponsible that once you decide to take in an animal that it is alot of work...which I agree. But come on!! So they are giving me the guilt trip saying it isn't fair to the poor dog, but quite frankly I don't think I can afford all these problems. So what I'd like to know is ....any thoughts from anyone????
I just feel so guilty, but I can only take so much. :unsure:
Sorry my rant is so long...I'm just a little depressed, thats all.
Thanks BW
