Plus the expensive procedures are going to be needlessly painful for the animal. We haven't had to put anyone down yet but I think the dogs may have heard about the limit since our last vet ER visit it totaled $988. A close call for Rocky.Chris Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01940920035641459081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842136564899097734.post-5004293504593954012016-08-22T18:40:28.319-07:002016-08-22T18:40:28.319-07:00I was wondering if you are still raising turkeys a...I was wondering if you are still raising turkeys and chickens? Have not seen a lot posted about your animals. Even your pigs :) Just wondering how all that is going. <br /><br />As for animals the only dogs we have are pets. We don't have the need for herd/farm dogs yet.<br /><br />Love reading your blog!<br />Shareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689507041022611355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842136564899097734.post-180912287870592282016-08-22T16:28:54.885-07:002016-08-22T16:28:54.885-07:00I've always tried to find a logically sound de...I've always tried to find a logically sound decision. Cancer? The money will add up, even if you can afford the treatment. But will the dog be better in the end?<br /><br />We had a shepherd for 12+ years. grew up with our children, but he got to the point that he couldn't get up to go to the bathroom. Diagnosed with Low Gehrig's disease. Could have treated the symptoms, but in the end no guarantees. We decided to euthanize. It's a sad day when you walk out of a vet's office with an empty collar and leash. <br /><br />Still the right decision for us and the dog.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14202410717147326787noreply@blogger.com
