At 4 a.m., our sweet baby had to make an emergency vet visit that led us to go to multiple specialists and care facilities. If anyone knows me, they know that my love for her is deep, like I made her from a chunk of myself. I can’t put a price tag on what she means to me, so when the vet gave us a $10,000 bill, I had to say yes. With multiple financial issues and my work closing down soon, we are the most financially insecure we have ever been because of this. She makes our house a home and it feels empty and gray without her.
