That sucks about your dog man, I feel for you. But man you got a set,,LOL. To each thier own but I wouldn't sell my guns or anything to give my dog that surgery, let alone ask for money. I know it sucks man, but you really have to think this one out. And not to be cold hearted but a new pup is cheaper and really helps the pain of loosing a dear friend. Good luck with whatever you choose to do.
