Will thanks for the input, thats what I asked for. What you do not understand is I have put alot of time and money into these dogs, they are show dogs and not only that, but they have been my salvation the last 10 years. I will not throw them out. Would not even think of it. As far as being a financial decision, yes it is. When my husband did not work for over a year we almost lost everything. I could have taken the easy way out and declared bankruptcy, but I didn't. Its been a very long, hard road back but I can now pay the bills on time. Its taken 3 years and all our savings and me working 2 jobs for almost 7 months, but paying the bills is all, there is nothing left over for anything. Might be easy for someone else to say just do it, but sometimes its not that simple. I do however appreciate your input.
