Thanks, Miss Money is doing well…she’s really still quite sore, but she’s been such a fighter and is wagging her tail in her little dog bed 
I wouldnt have had the $15000 either! At first, it was emotions that said to treat her - but as the problems built, so did the bill. Even my vet gently suggested euthanizing her (but a tricky situation since she was a stray), but Im happy I made the decision I did.
My father in law passed away 3 months ago, he was a huge dog lover and when he passed we did inherit from him (my husband is the only living child). I guess deep down I know he would have saved this dog, and he left us the money to save her :sadsmile:.
Miss Money is legally mine, I contacted animal control and there is 5 business days to claim a dog. I cant say I would keep her if her family does come looking for her - but no lost posters and no replies to my animal control report. Im not selfish, and if she really did stray away and had a great home she would absolutley go back. However, no collar, no microchip and we are at 2 weeks with no reply or posters up. Its a very rural area, I bet she was an outdoor farm dog or a dump? She doesnt appear to be spayed and couldnt really tell how she looked - she looked pretty poopy when I hit her! Either way, she’s safe now 
Vet thinks she is about 10, lab cross type. She’s not going to win a beauty contest, but her personality is A++. She gets along just perfect with my doodle - and he is very careful around her.
I will try to get some pictures together. She is going back to the vets for a recheck tomorrow, hope to post some more good news. I want to bring the staff something special - they went above and beyond with her!!
