Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.

For the last couple weeks I've been really worried about Puck. He has never been much of an eater, but lately every time he eats he'll throw it back up again. I've been telling Seth that he needs to take him into the vet. We'll he took him in today, and got x-rays and other tests and they saw what they think might be a solid mass in his stomach. Like he ate something that he can't digest. They want to see Puck again tomorrow for more tests. So it was $200 today, another $200 tomorrow, and if it really is a mass, he'll need surgery, which is another $800. Seth says he won't pay another $800, he'll just sell Puck. I'm so heart broken. I've been crying on and off since I heard. And every time I look at Puck I just break down. He's just so helpless, and hurting, and I feel so guilty. I don't even know what he ate, but I should have stopped him from doing it. Martin says that we'll just pay for him to have the surgery, but we don't have that kind of money either. Maybe we could split it, but I don't know if Seth would. I'm so incredibly attached to these dogs....They are more my dogs than anyone else's. I take the most care, and spend the most time with them. And the thought of giving them up...it's just not fathomable to me.

Very sad to hear this. I know what you are going through, it is something you never will get used to it. In england you can get pet insurnance, which isn't very expensive, but helps to pay for. Do you have animal rescue places? a lot of times they are prepared to help to cut costs. Maybe you should look into this and contact them. Cross my fingers that you will be able to sort something positive out for Puck.
