Lets say you have a dog.&nbsp; Your out walking&nbsp;him and someone pulls up and says they would give you $5000.00 for your dog.&nbsp; Would you sell it?<br />Is there an amount you would?&nbsp; <br /><br />If your dog was termanally ill, is there a threshold you would pay up to, but not over if it meant he could live a few more months?&nbsp; I know these are hard questions!

<p>In the past two years, my gf and I have spent $3200 on her beagle.&nbsp; And that was just for surgery on both of his knees.&nbsp; So, I think the threshold for more serious illness is higher than I'd care to imagine.</p>

<p>A variation of this actually happend to my niece and I wanted an opinion on it.&nbsp; They have a shiitzu and the dog is a total mush.&nbsp;If you wash him, he just sits there and takes it and tries to lick your face.&nbsp; I stepped on his foot once by accident and he yelped and I kneeled down to say Im sorry and pet him and he started kissing me, as if to say he was sorry for being in my way!&nbsp; This dog gushes with affection, and I guess she met someone with the dog, and the person fell in love with the dog.&nbsp; She paid $500 for the dog.&nbsp; She had the dog groomed and brought to the vet and spends I am sure around a grand a year on the dog.&nbsp; The person she met was amazed at how loving the dog is and honestly offered her five grand for the dog.&nbsp; She said no, of course.&nbsp; She said she wouldnt sell it for hundred grand!</p>

<p>I would never sell my dog.&nbsp; I paid $500 for him and less than a year later, he got a bionic leg for $3200, which was basically my tax return and one class worth of tuition.&nbsp;&nbsp; Knowing his leg was fixable and he would walk run and play normal again, i blew the money. &nbsp;i could have had his leg amputated for $500........&nbsp;and he'd be none the wiser.... &nbsp;If he was hit by a car and had internal damage, i would have had him put down.&nbsp; Same thing if he had cancer.&nbsp; I have had many ferrets in past years, and they are little cancer factories.&nbsp; Each ferret had some kind of adrenal or pancreas cancer at some point, which cost between $300-$800 to fix, but they lived a few years after that so it was worth it.&nbsp; But when they stop eating and drinking, no point in blowing the money to &quot;try&quot; to save them, just euth.&nbsp;It's their ways of saying they are done. &nbsp;can't let them suffer.&nbsp; I think term. ill cancer paitents (human) should have that choice.&nbsp; </p><p><img height="212" src="http://photos.imageevent.com/kriegweasel/ferrets/bathtub3.JPG" width="282" border="0" /></p>

No amount of money would have me get rid of my dog.&nbsp; Yea she frustrates the hell out of me at times, but, she's my dog, and she makes me laugh.&nbsp; My sister's cat though...<br />

[furie]

I wouldn't sell my dog for anything under $50,000
but at the same time, I wouldn't spend more than $500 at a vet for my pet.
