Just saw a petco commercial parading that it is pet cancer awareness month. Self-serving, promoting it's business and products over this issue and letting you know that you can donate your money away. Spot lighted a family with rover who had cancer and how devastated they all were.
Okay, now I remember reading somewhere that 90% of all dogs die with cancer and not from it. The life span of dogs is so short that cancer is not really an issue. Dogs get old and die.
When I was growing up we had many dogs. I loved them and I miss them too. The memories and the love and companionship. I judged those dogs but they never judged me.
But how far should you go to save snoopy ? Are you going to spend thousands or tens of thousands to add another 3 years of picking up poop and filling water dishes to your daily schedule ?
There is just time to cry and let go. :cry:
I think it is disordered to take away from the kids education fund or retirement or a trip to Disneyland.
What do you think ? Do you think I am being a jerk or just rational ?
Do you have a personal story or know anyone who has gone over-board trying to add to a dog or other pets short lifespan ?
Our beloved dog has cancer. We went to the vet. Who said we had to go to a specialist who wanted $1,700 for testing. We were shocked. The office was packed with people paying thousands of dollars for their pets. Of course I was crying. My husband was upset.
But that was a racket. Then they tried to push meds and pain killers too on top of the two hundred dollar 5 min exam. The we got mad. They treated us like animal a users because we didn't get the tests done. Then we went to another vet who was honest. He said that they could amputate but it would not guarantee. We are not putting our dog through pain. She is fine
For now.
It is all about money for animals and humans.
Cancer research is big money. Pills needles big money.
How yogurt with cap and yet asparatame is in ingredients.
How about cancer prevention ???
Our beloved dog is in God's hands now.
