We couldn't afford a vet. He had occasional coughs and skin problems. He made my mom cough via asthma. But he was only 10.

Tough. Little dogs generally live longer. Could've prob lived between 13-16. Was the dog making your Mom cough a new thing? Or that was the entirety of you having it?

Did the dog really only have skin problems and occasional cough? That seems a little extreme to put a dog down.

Someone out there would have taken it for free. And if they put it down, it's at no cost to you

The first bad call was getting a pet when you cant afford to take it to the vet. It didnt matter how healthy a dog is they will need to see the vet. You father should never be allowed to have a pet.

Yeah, I don't see why the dog had to be put down. A shelter or to a good home of someone you know would have been my instinct if I had to get rid of a dog.

For skin problems and a cough? Was a vet super necessary?

There's a lot of people that like to take in older dogs for the simple fact that most wouldn't. Letting a senior dog spend their final years in a loving home instead of a shelter is a wonderful thing to do.

This is probably on everyone involved except TC. His parents were in charge. Also fuck whatever vet was OK with this. TC was still a kid. He's the only innocent one involved

if your parents bought the dog when they were financially able, and then circumstances caused them financial hardship down the road, thats very unfortunate

if your parents bought the dog knowing they couldnt afford a vet, they shouldnt have

We stopped being able to afford a vet when my dad pretty much lost everything in the 07-08 recession.

Omg, post #17 is peak internet. It's like in the realm of unironic copypastas.

As for Topic, I mean, probably, but obviously no blame on you. No matter what age you were, you wouldn't have had much sway to go against whatever your dad decided. Hopefully, you can reflect on the matter, and learn if you ever decide to own a pet of your own (or if you already have one now). Of course, I don't know how sick that dog was; perhaps your dad made the best decision based on the knowledge presented. If the dog was in bad condition, I don't know if it would have been right to pawn the dog off on someone else to have to deal with. I really don't know how easy/tough it is to find someone willing to take in a dog and make sure it's going to a loving home. Additionally, your dad may not have even known about the avenues he could have taken ten years ago.

So I assume your parents will live with you until they die on e they can't take care of themselves instead of sitting in a retirement home?
