Jake

When it seems getting out of debt is on the horizon, life just knocks you down. Jake has a deformed growth plate on his leg and may require surgery. We are getting a second opinion tomorrow. It seems like having a child isn't going to happen this year.

I remember DH always making fun of people going to get purebred dogs and spending a ridiculous amount of money when they are sick, but it seems we are in the exact situation now. Although we have a mutt, technically...we still did not get him from the humane society. Since DH is allergic, we agreed to get a poodle mix and since I wanted a big dog, a Labradoodle seemed to be fitting. It really has bit us in the ass this time.

Would it be horrible to find a rescue group for him? I have no idea how much this is going to cost and I want to do what we can to help him, but it seems every month there is always something wrong with him. I just don't know what to do.
