It's been a rough week for me, so I wanted to post...
There are no buds this week, however the biggest rose and thorn was the same event. On Wednesday, I got a call from my dad saying that they had decided to put my male dog down (he's 11 years old and has heartworms). He said that if he put him down, he was going to put his sister up for adoption, and if she didn't get adopted he's sure the pound would put him down as well (it's a long story why). However, he made an offer to pay for $87.50 of my parent loan, so that it goes from $387.50 to $300.00 a month if I take on this dog. I already have a puppy, so he felt that it would be good for the older dog to have a playmate. So, I now have a big border collie/lab mix residing with a jack russell/chihuahua mix (and yes, it is a funny sight). So my rose is that I got a new dog, and my thorn is pretty much everything else that went along with it.
