Ah, yes. We hardly ever talk about this. Accountability means we don't enable the ones we love. I enjoyed this article Delia.
On a different note, I had a Chihuahua named Zsa Zsa, he had bronchial problems. I paid a $130 bill for a year after her time in the hospital. Then, another $98 a month for medicine she needed. I couldn't travel long distances with her. So I didn't travel long distances. She lived a healthy life for 3 years with some restrictions.
But I loved that little feisty gal. And I would have done it all over again.
Thanks for a great read, Delia.
