Sounds like it was a really crappy situation (and the wife was wrong), but I'm glad you made the right decision.

Loved your rescue story. I can't believe your "friends" would put you in that situation. Shame on them! Good on you though. So happy you can all be together as a family again.

I remember a time when one of my dogs got sick with a life-threatening ailment and was having seizures. I whisked that pup to the emergency vet in the middle of the night multiple times over a period of a week, just because I was scared for her and afraid to be alone with her if she needed medical attention. I have no idea how many thousands of dollars were spent that day, but I can't imagine doing it any other way. You are a good mom, to pets and kids! :-) Happy Sunday, Melissa melissa @ the inspired rooms last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/wordpress/woWq/~3/410043980/" rel="nofollow">My One-House Drive By (Ok, it was a walk by)</a> I would’ve done the same thing!

I think it's pretty amazing how strong we can be, and what we will do to protect and try keep our families together under stress. Although I'm a vet, we only have 2 dogs whom we rescued almost 10 years ago now. They were both supposed to be put to sleep as young dogs, for medical reasons that require very expensive lifelong care. When I saw them, I instantly knew we were family, and have never regretted my decision to have fewer animals but know I would be financially able provide everything they need. There have been times over the years when we've thought we might lose them, and emergencies have definitely happened, but we've been able to help them thrive and have a great life. Sometimes, despite the best care, life can be so fragile, and unfairly short--but it's a comforting feeling to actually know you did the best you could at the end of the day.

But that was before I became a dog owner myself (due to incessant pleading by my children). Now, I get it. I consider Skipper, our shih-tzu, to be a part of our family, and I can easily see myself doing anything necessary to keep him happy and safe, just as I would for my children. It's too bad you had to deal with such a challenging situation, but give yourself a huge pat on the back for coming through for your dogs in a big way.
