My dog ate my vape money

[abstractboro]

Money has been tight since the new year, and ive been using my Fogger rebuildable tank most of the time in an effort to save juice. After finally getting a decent pay check and paying off some bills, i had some money put away for a new box mod and a Derringer, and a few bottles of new juice to try. Was going to head to my local B&M today. After a nice dinner out with the girl last night I came home to find that my dog had gotten into a pretty bad scuffle with my neighbors dog, and was pretty torn up. The neighbors dog had a few cuts on his head but was clearly the winner of the fight. I counted almost 50 cuts and punctures on his chest, head, legs and paws. I rushed both of them to an emergency vet where they cleaned up the wounds and prescribed antibiotics, anti-inflammatory pills and pain killers for my guy because he was hurting.

My dog will be fine but i feel terrible that it happened. There were no stitches, no vital spots hit on either dog, so all in all we got lucky. After spending over $500 on emergency veterinary bills it looks like my vape habit will have to wait.

Point of story, I love vaping, building, dripping, etc but I love my dog a million times more and I would spend every penny to make sure he is ok.

Sorry for the long story, but I know there's some of you out there that are animal lovers as well and have been in the same situation

I am very sorry to read this..

How was it that your neighbors dog got near your dog while you were out?

Hope your pups recovery goes well, and at least you have the gear and juice from before the altercation.

I suppose I should have elaborated a bit. By neighbor I'm referring to my landlord and close friend of mine, he owns the house and i live in the downstairs apartment. He has 2 dogs, one of which gets along fine with mine and the other not so much but they are used to eachother. I have a roommate who was actually watching the dogs upstairs while they were out of town for the day. In a freak turn of events they ended up seeing each other in the hallway. Sorry for not saying that originally, was trying not to post a novel lol

sounds like you have good karma. Payback will be kind.

Thank you for explaining. Now I am even more sorry. I was hoping it was something like your dog was in your yard and the neighbors dog some how got past the gate into your yard.
I do however feel that your roommate should help with the vet bill. (assuming the room mate was aware of how the dogs got along)
If I leave someone to care for my child, dog, house or car and damage happens then they are responsible for the cost of that.

That being said.. there is a bright side.. Your pup is OK. AND you did have the money to pay a vet. It is probably not worth persuing an issue with your room mate. Although your roomy should offer since it really was his/her fault.

At least the dogs will survive. We all love our pets(or should). My crazy cats made me go get their mama cat a Valentine's card. Watcha gonna do? Hope the pups get better soon.

Sadness, but you do have your priorities straight, Abstractboro.

We used to say that spare money was what we didn't know we had till the car broke down.

 

[abstractboro]

Yep, I still have my best friend, and that's all that matters. Also my roommate has paid me back for a good portion of the vet bill. Still a little too much spent to justify new hardware, but I smell some juice in my near future... and a fresh bag of treats for the pup

 

[cags]

I'm so glad the dogs are ok. I hope this doesn't make them hate each other!

we have spent our life savings more than once on our dogs

It sounds like your room mate is a very stand up decent person!!! How nice to read that!

Ya, I have a lot of good people (and animals) around me. I may not have a large bank account but I'm quite wealthy

 

[Rotowoman]

Glad the dogs are all right. I'd give up my vape toys too for my dog or my cat.

I don't know.. If I had someone watch both my cats and they got into a fight I wouldn't want them paying the bill for my 2 ....... cats lol

 

[slinco]

You are a good man. My dog comes before anything else, they rely on you for a good life.
I love my dogs,they offer pure innocent love, where else you gonna find that?

 

[kbf101998]

Glad the dogs are OK! Your priorities are in order and all will be well!

 

[Bjorhyn]

I hope I'm not the only one who read this thinking that your dog literally ate your money.
Here I was going to suggest feeding him prunes, and following him around wearing gloves for the next couple days.

That all said, I'm very glad he's going to be okay.

Dog owners are special people. I was single raising three kids and barely getting by when my Aussie tore her nail going after a Frisbee, that ended up being a $300 manicure, three months later I spent $800 dollars when she got into a 40 pound bag of dog food and damn near needed surgery... for some reason I now have 2 Aussies.
