We will see whether the insurance cover for the surgery fee.  If not, we will just let it live its remaining days peaceful.  It is simply cheaper to buy a new dog than fixing the old one.  I guess 13 years of life is long enough for a dog.  It does not do much everyday, spent most of time sleeping and gets up only for food and its daily walk.  To Charlie, everyday is just the repeat of the previous day.  Life of a dog seems so meaningless, all it does is eat, sleep, walk, pee and shit.  The function of a pet is to give joy and pleasure to its owner.  When owning a pet brings more trouble than pleasure, maybe it is time send it to SPCA to end its suffering.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our family dog, Charlie, is 13 years old.
