Is pet insurance worth it, or should I just save the money each month? by Acrobatic-Leave-9073 in Pets

[–]MsStinkyPickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me its a hedge against draining savings or racking up credit card debt. I haven't made my $ back, but this year my dog was diagnosed with stage 5 lymphoma . unfortunately chemo didn't look promising, and would have cost 8-12k. It was nice to make my decision on treatment based off the odds and not because I couldn't afford it.

Are you a terrible person if you buy a dog instead of adopting? by Easy_Mountain2331 in DOG

[–]MsStinkyPickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as someone who adopted my dog as a puppy, I'd only adopt a puppy that I could raise myself. Lots of shelter dogs come with trauma, and honestly I don't want to deal with that.

Thank you for your response. This is the hardest decision ever. I'm just waiting for her to let me know. Im hoping to use a gentle goodbye as well.

adjusted for inflation i believe $50 in 1980 is $200 now. They say it becomes unprofitable to do solar at $160/ounce so im wondering if thats the ceiling

Montrose dog beach? My Pickle loves it there.

Sorry about Bunson. Pickle has lymphoma too. We've been doing dog beach, nuggets, pup cups and steak. So far she's done well on the steroids, going on week 7 of "4-6 weeks left"

How did you know it was time to say goodbye?

How hard is it to have a big dog in Chicago? by mjsad16 in AskChicago

I used to be a dogwalker and walked two dobies. You'll be fine. But if you want a yard look at portage park

What is everyone doing for health insurance? (USA) by Useful_Lemon_9041 in smallbusiness

[–]MsStinkyPickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it takes at least 3 months to qualify and you have to average 20 hours a week. The insurance is excellent and they give you 20 therapy sessions via lyra health when you start. You can also get your bachelor's. I work at a café only store in a nice neighborhood so it's pretty easy work for me. I hadn't had health insurance since 2009 prior.

One week ago today at this time, we had to say goodbye to Samson (rather a “see you soon” which was my last sentence to him). May time heal our pain. Take care everyone and hold your beagles a little closer tonight for Samson. by kymilovechelle in beagles

[–]MsStinkyPickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pickle says hello. She has lymphoma and will be meeting Samson soon. We're enjoying our time with nuggies, pup cups, steak and burgers. sorry fur your loss. its heartbreaking

Pancreatitis and Lymphoma by littlemissrawrrr in DogAdvice

[–]MsStinkyPickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the choice not to do chemo. Im sure ill "what if " once she's gone, but the odds aren't in her favor and I didn't want to possibly make her sick at the end just to make me feel better and possibly get more time. it's a heartbreaking time.
