Thanks Ready. I'm sitting here on the verge of tears. I am thankful that my parents are here and can take her to the vet for me and care for her. In another month they will be gone thousands of miles away for good and I will be alone again. If they were not here, with this new job of mine starting, why I'd have to quit (before even starting). I squirreled away some money with other plans for it, but now it will go to the vet. I'm just feeling sorry for myself. And also - I feel so badly for my dog because I know she is in pain. I swear she knows the instant I have some extra cash.
Did I think of drinking? It certainly crossed my mind, but it won't help and most certainly will lead to absolutely no good.
It's going to be lonely in my house.
Also guys - note, I do read this forum daily but often I am not logged on so I don't respond or send thanks. But do know that I appreciate everything.
