Well gee, let's see. If you knew your mom/dad/sister/brother/wife/husband/son/daughter had some disease and there was hope through diagnostics and medical intervention, but didn't know the outcome in 6 months would be that said person would succumb, would you pay for treatment in the meantime, or would you say "eh, doubt you'll make it so... can I have your stuff?"

I paid $1600 for a chance at a few more years, only to have my dog pass away that same night - even though my dog basically told me the night before that would be our last together. My sister paid probably $16,000 to spend another year with her dog. In the end it's just money, and money is worth nothing compared to the unrequited love and companionship a pet often provides. What else are you going to do with the money? Buy some useless material good with it that's meaningless in the end?

Caveman - sorry about your friend. Damn spleens, they're nothing but trouble (lost my golden to a splenic cancer what feels like just yesterday). Here's wishing you and your pack well. They'll step up and fill in the void in unimaginable ways.

^ I'm going to disagree with spending $16k on a pet, a smaller number, yes. But you can do whatever you like with your money. They also have pet insurance available I believe.

I'm so sorry man. Just think of all the great years you had together.

I had a dog for 16 years that died. I know how you feel.

Words cannot even begin to help you with your heartbreak. I wish you the fortitude to persevere.

That's the deal. Sorry about Timber.

Sorry for your dog. Things will get better. Get another one when you are ready.
