One of my Pugs is having problems with her breathing. I'm going to spend $700 for surgery. Am I crazy?
She is not in immediate danger, but she will be much more comfortable if I have this done. Quality of life is important. I think it applies to our pets as well. I am doing it for her regardless of what anyone thinks, but I'm curious. How many of you out there think it's a crazy idea?

As long as you can afford it, you are not crazy.

for me, yes. But its for you, i would consider it discretionary income though. I spent $1000 bucks on headphones.

It depends on the age of the pug. I had a friend once whose 15 year old dog got cancer and she spent $5,000 trying to save the dog and it died anyway within 2 weeks afterwards. I am very much a lover of animals by the way and would do anything to help one for the most part if I thought I could.

She's my pound pug. She was found on the street and spent 10 days at the pound before I adopted her. Don't know her exact age, but best guess is 6 to 8 years age. They do have a long life span.

If you are crazy, I certainly don't think that is the indication. I take the best care that I possibly can of my pets.

I guess the way I look at it, I have an unwritten agreement with any animal I take into my home, that I will do anything within reason to provide them with a happy, safe, healthy and comfortable life. Vet bills are part of that agreement; if I can improve their quality of life, I do it.
