You may have owned dogs all your life, I was not making any judgement on if you can be a good pet owner... you may be great with dogs, I have no idea, but that was not my point at all

You need to be SURE you can finically support a dog for it's lifetime before committing to it, even if it means having some sort of back up plan if money gets tight... like do you have a savings account to dig into? A close friend or family member who can help? Many rescues would even ask these very things.

I'm a huge dog lover and I work with dogs in rescue. I know a lot about this stuff. I am very much an advocate on rescuing and especially being on that side of things, I try to educate people on what they are getting into before hand, do you know how many dogs end up back in shelters or rescue because people can no longer afford them?

Thank you for caring. I still feel I had a right to say something.... no you don't have to post anywhere but I can say my views on things too. I wont be her much longer anyway, only 2 weeks left and I wont be able to deal with this forum, seeing stories of people who still have their T.

Do what's best for you, but PLEASE think about what is also best for the dog. Right now, it's probably best for you to work on being able to see your Dr.
