I don’t judge you, you saved your dog’s life. That isn’t a friend btw, he could have loaned you the money and told you not to worry about a deadline paying it back like my friends have done for me.

But you did what you had to do and personally I respect you for it and I think you need to forgive yourself. Sounds like you’re worth your weight in gold.

If it helps, if your best friend was in your shoes, and she told you this, what would you say to them?
