The ONLY thing that I think is good about this is that the money goes directly to the clinic.
I really don't think that we are bringing negative statements into this thread - just voicing concern. No one implied that ANYONE didn't have a brain in their head, Catty - sheesh. Now who turns it Nasty?
I'm sorry but I see a HISTORY here. HISTORY.
This is the family that couldn't afford vet care for one dog and it died, and then turned around and shelled out $$$ a month or 2 later for another pom and since then more animals.
This is the same child who last year in one thread said they didn't have enough money to pay rent or buy food but was thinking about asking for a $300 camera for her birthday. Then asked if anyone had an memory card to give her. Do you see what I'm saying? It doesn't seem like its never enough and I do understand that she is 14. But @ 14 I would not have the guts to ask for the things she has to us and to her mother, and while I do understand that its the animals lives @ stake but doing this is just enabling her to think that we owe her something and that she will carry thru the rest of her life. I am not implying she would be UNGRATEFUL @ all, before you put words in my mouth and imply that. I'm sure she would be grateful but what about next year when she gets another dog or another cat and wants money then?
I honestly think in my heart, that she has seen us give money to several people who have needed it over the couple years she has been here, and now she thinks it is her turn.
