Toppingfrmbottom -> RE: What is the worst credit card companies can do if you default on your account and won't pay? (1/25/2013 10:02:16 AM)

When Ginger died I was very no more dog till we're solvent actually, and I was thinking no dog for 3 or 4 years, but I've almost always had dogs and it was sad and depressing not to have that bond and that companion ship. Yes I even tried volunteering as much as I was allowed by the organization with local dogs and it just wasn't the same. It was like walking around with a physical part of me missing, I know how corny that sounds. It took me a year before getting another dog, not the 4 I was planning on lol. I originally started out with a foster dog, but ended up loving her so much.
Yes, I'd be way better off not having a pet of any kind until we could stand on our own two feet. The 3 dogs I have mentioned were stretched over many many years between dogs, Sparky was given to me when I was a child and he died when I was in the 25 year age range. Ginger was my daddy's moms dog, and when she had to move into a nursing home she went to Daddy, and then became our dog, cause we were dating and living together.
Even though that's completely true, I am happier with dogs and the "burdens" they bring than with out, and volunteering some place for a few hours a day doesn't match that joy.
Next time perhaps I'll find a long term foster who has no real prospects of adoption, because when you foster the organization pays for everything, their food, their vet bills, their meds, everything.

I understand having a big heart and wanting to save them all but has it occurred to you that you might be doing yourself and all these animals a favor if you were to hold off on taking in/adopting anymore until AFTER you reach a point where you can take care of yourself and them without being forced to use credit cards?
I'm really not trying to be ugly with this comment. When I was younger I had a similar problem. I'd take in so many strays because they always *needed* me and then they'd *need* health care. I found every possible justification for what I was doing. Your TOP priority needs to be YOU ... Otherwise, this cycle will never really end.

I will look into it But, Ginger she had cancer and was dying from it, that was the only major health problem she had, Sparky had developed a heart murmer there about a year into the end of his life, and had the only really super major thing he had wrong was my dad accidentally poisoned him, and we had to take him to the doggie ER and have his stomache pumped, and it was 500 dollars. and the tests to find out why he was so sick there at the end of his life . Turns out he had a auto immune disorder that was turning his body against itself, and his kidneys were failing. Calley may, she's had chronic ear problems, itchy skin, needs an allergy test to find out why, and this latest incident, she has a cyst and a lump on her eye and her knee that needs to be taken off.
And as I mentioned before the dr suspects she's got a poss neuro disorder, and we need 4 x rays for that and then depending on what it finds the treatment from there.
The deaf boy I was considering adopting was deaf through medical neglect by his humans, and even now ages after the surgery got ear infections and had to have his ears cut back open and worked on. That will be a life long thing probably. But he was otherwise very healthy other than having seriously stinky ear flaps, and getting infections that required his ear flap surgery to be cut open.
They were very very healthy otherwise.

Master has it and according to him, it's a god save. His cats have had some problems before and according to him the insurance is worth it. I would research it. It could be well worth your time.
