[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 300837, member: 4264"] Thanks for sharing! I remember spending over $3K for multiple surgeries to try to save difficult child's cat Whiskers when he went into sudden heart failure at only 3 years old. Over 2 weeks I spent $ I didn't have, couldn't afford. I barely slept as I would bring him home from the vet after a surgery and couldn't bear to not watch over him, then back to vet, another surgery, more sleepless nights. Poor boy tried so hard but had to be put down after 2 weeks and so many operations. I regret NONE of the time or money. He was worth trying to save. I too believe pets are a commitment that if we take them on, we should accept all that goes with them. I have had to in past rehouse a beloved pet for practical (yet sad) reasons, such as moving and the owner not allowing pets. It hurt each time but I took time to find a loving good home with true animal lovers. I also always told them that if something changed, please call me and I'd take the animal back home (to heck with landlords!) until I could figure something out. Since then (years and years ago) I refuse to live somewhere that landlords will forbid animals. I can't say goodbye a day before my pet passes away. They should be for life. Thanks again for posting this! [/QUOTE]
