I have been looking at tables since January and was planning on pulling the trigger in another week or so. We were just waiting for our son to move out so we could put the table in the family room which he has been using as a living space. He is just about all packed up and will be gone in the next week or so.
One of my dogs, a rescue Pug from an abusive home, has been walking with a slight limp since we got her in January. Initially the vet told us there was nothing really wrong with her. The limp has gotten noticeably worse in the last week. I returned to the vet yesterday where they sedated her and took x-rays. The head of her femur is cracked and her hip was broken but it never healed properly. There is also evidence of her other leg being broken but it healed OK.
Needless to say she is going in for surgery next week to fix her up and it is going to cost me $2200 plus the cost of follow up visits and PT. I had $3k set aside to get a table and now I need to use that money to get my dog fixed.
I called the police to see if there was anything I could do to get her former owners arrested for abuse but they were of no help. I sure would like to go back and beat the crap out of the guy and his wife who had the dog before me. It was bad enough that she was skinny as could be, had worms and fleas when I got her but now to find out they also abused her so that both legs and her hip were broken. The poor dog is barley a year old. People like that need to get the crap beaten out of them and then starved for a few months and thrown in jail.
Going to start saving my money again for a table only I think instead of saving enough to buy new, which had been the plan, I will see if I can find a good second hand table once I get around a $1000 saved up.
