Oh most definately! Im with you on that one! just keeping a dog alive and spedning thousands on a dog that could very well not enjoy not having teeth or being able to see things, along with what could be other problems not so obvious is just mean! A healthy dog is (most of the time) a happy dog, i would take quality of life over quantity anyday!
