More Dog stuffs
On the one hand, having Dr. Cauble come to the apt. and do the euth. in comfortable, homey surroundings, will cost from $425 to $525, and that is without "after care".
On the other, the Pasadena Humane Society will do it for $20, but I don't know if they could help me get him there (he is NOT going to let me-- or anyone else for that matter-- carry him without a struggle, and honestly, I don't have a car any longer as it is.
What bothers me is the huge difference in the cost-- Expensive Death vs Cheap Death. While the large amount sounds large (it includes the visit and the time, so I know how to subtract that and discover the cost of the actual shots etc), the twenty dollar fee sounds like something that would be haphazard and not pretty. Yet I'm sure it's not. Pasadena Humane Society seems to have a very good reputation.
Tonight (after his three days of being on the floor in the living room) I managed to haul him up for a bit-- enough for him to finally PEE, though not all of it came out, and then when I got him flopped over, he didn't move for some time. I threw that comforter out. The wound on the back leg is seeping like mad, but mostly seems clear. He ate cat food last night, and he still drinks water. Tonight I "borrowed" a hotdog from Jessica's stash (sorry I didn't ask you sooner, but you were asleep, I think) and he ate it, but like the last few times, he starts to act like it's a problem half-way through.
I really don't know what to do. The really sad pathetic part is, even should I choose the low-end option, I still have to wait until the 3rd when I get paid. I am serious when I say I am teh broke. Got $1.58 in the checking account, which I am GLAD for because it's the first time in two months that I'm not overdrawn (stupid credit union with their evil ways of accepting deposits, then still bouncing checks).
And I keep thinking too much about is it right to do it, or am I being selfish in wanting to be "free" of having to deal with it-- and that makes me think again about was I wishing to be "free" of having to deal with Mom in the last few days?
Sometimes I think there is something seriously wrong with me. And I'm probably right.
