Please just take 5 minutes to read this.Jack was brought to us as a puppy. He had a cough that the vet diagnosed as an underdeveloped larynx. he was was going to live for approximately 3 years. The farm he was at told us they were going to shoot him, yes shoot. we decided to give him the best 3 years we could and took him on.he is the best friend I could have, he's so gentle with our 3 children and at 8 years old we thought all was well. suddenly he began to take Ill and within a short period went down hill drastically. diagnosed with addisons disease we are now facing a large bill just before Christmas. At the moment with three children Christmas is looking bleak but we don't want to give up on him now and think life has already thrown enough at him. I know people may think he's just a dog but to us he is just so much more, hes family. would I really be writing this if I didn't think he was worth it all and so much more. any help would be so appreciated as we are struggling were else to go. Thank you to anyone that has taken the time to read this story, and of course anyone willing to help.
