pay, and then breed her (not you, have another dog do it) and sell pups.

in other words make her pay it off.

the dog becomes like a family member after a while. Yes, it is expensive as hell, but I would carry guilt for the rest of my life if I didn't give that animal a fighting chance.

Yea I was gonna try that with my other bulldog (I have 2) but she ended up with pyometra (infected uterus) so she had to have emergency surgery to get spaded suxed. So I got this one spaded already, but I like your thinking boat!

Only way I wouldn't do it was if I simply couldn't afford it or it was going to put my family in a bad financial situation. It would be hard to put down my dog though under any circumstances...

Amputate. A dog only needs 3 legs anyway.

Get the ins big! She was running around the house. My first floor is kitchen dinning room living room and comp room all connected in a giant circle. Dog was doing sprint laps ..... BAM blows out the knee. Not much yelping but, put absolutely no pressure on it, held it off the ground, for about 5 hours. Thats when I brought her in .... Surgery that night.

You did the right thing. Only an Animal Lover will understand.

currently have 3 Cats, One of them is my Favorite. Follows me around, sleeps between me and the mrs...

If I was standing there with him and the Wife, and a Guy asks ... I have to shot one, and it's my choice. Well.. it's kind of a tough call. But the Wife should start Running !

Sorry about your daughter, but it just goes to show you, girls should not play soccer. (Neither should boys).
