People pay whatever it costs because they love their pets, but they also kick themselves when they realize that they could have saved $4k on surgery if they'd put their flip-flops away instead of letting the dog eat them.<br />Baby Smiling In Back Seathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483533946303787478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97117424991901100.post-36882517123908169352009-07-24T11:35:41.000-07:002009-07-24T11:35:41.000-07:00Hunter is so luck to have you guys as his new owne...Hunter is so luck to have you guys as his new owners.

Eventually, he will pay you back 100 fold for that $6000. My first lab was the love of my life (besides my husband) and since we haven't been able to have children, he filled the role of our kid, too. Over the course of his 11 years we spent several thousand dollars, including $8000 to save his life at the end - and I'd do it all overLori LeRoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01981773036545324499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97117424991901100.post-68760083869260056162009-07-23T07:12:04.599-07:002009-07-23T07:12:04.599-07:00My cousin (not the hyper-fertile bitch on FB that ...My cousin (not the hyper-fertile bitch on FB that I complain about on my blog) has a philosophy...<br /><br />If you can take care of a plant and not kill it, you can take care of a dog.<br />If you can take care of a dog/cat and survive, then you will do fine with a child.<br /><br />I truly believe that puppy training (okay, we cheated our puppy is our friend's who we get on long holiday Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97117424991901100.post-43490071918561602532009-07-22T12:21:05.669-07:002009-07-22T12:21:05.669-07:00jschreffler, fear not: we are not even considering...jschreffler, fear not: we are not even considering giving Hunter back. I agree that it would be psychologically devastating for him to have to go another home. And despite the stress and expense, we are quite attached to the fella.<br /><br />You are likely right that this is good training for child rearing. I hadn't viewed it in that light.

He does not understand why he has been abused and then placed in home after home. Taking a rescue dog always poses risks and my heart goes out to hunter and his future fate. I hope you and your husband find it in your hearts to keep this dog and love him jschrefflerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745509532789667449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97117424991901100.post-71460021915437677802009-07-22T11:14:33.949-07:002009-07-22T11:14:33.949-07:00OMG what a mess!

I wouldn't have any dog-related expenses for months, and then both dogs would be sick at one and require $$$$$. It will end though - and your love and devotion will not go unnoticed.
