I feel that if you take on an animal...dog, cat, hamster or whatever, it' s your choice to look after it and care for it's vets' needs. If you don't feel that you can afford that, don't go there.

We made the choice when we bought our Topsie and have cared for him for over ten years. He has been healthy and happy for most of his life but I know that at some point he may need some help from the vet. It's scary but, I will pay out for him to lead a good life. If it comes to spending thousands for an extra couple of months.........I don't think so.

As much as I love him, I won't put him through any suffering just to keep him alive for me.
