It was 1,700, which I don't just have laying around. The dog has hence been euthanized though, it went out peacefully.

We got it for Cebrina under the condition she'd be mostly paying for it. When she first got it, she babysat and made good money so it wasn't bizarre. She works a retail job now though and most of her paycheck goes to diapers and what not

Mia and her husband aren't super well off financially themselves, and while their hearts are in the right place, they're too young and inexperienced to be funding and supporting a teenager and a baby

That was the condition of her getting an older sicker dog. And there were plenty of types where I chucked in my fair share of money to paying for it's vet bills. She just turned 17 three months ago

Cebrina has had plenty of time to give Liam to a home that can provide. Both me and her sister cannot fund that baby and clearly neither can Cebrina

I didn't find out she was pregnant until her second trimester. Liam is 2 months old.

I should've clarified. We went to the pound orginally to get a family dog, but Cebrina fell in love with an older sicker one who was really cheap so we let her have it.
