@merpreb Hi Merry. My brother lives with me and supports me financially as I’m only on disability. My daughter with fur (Kelly) has enough dog food for now. None of my friends have offered to take care of her - it makes me very upset! I REFUSE to put her in the pound and have her staying in a cage, watching for us to come get her! We’re still at the apt. I found some errors on my bank statement (thank God) and returned some things so we barely squeaked by this month. It won’t be like that in July. Thank you so much for “connecting” with me. My pain has become intolerable and corresponding with someone takes my mind temporarily off it. It’s like a pain switch has been turned up. I’ve never experienced anything like this. I think I have bitterness towards my friends. Anyway, thank you again. It means a lot! ............Karen

Hi, @karen00 - I can imagine it would be very distressing to feel as though you are barely squeaking by, struggling to stay in your apartment and down to some last few foods in the house. I'm glad you've connected with @merpreb.
Since you have so many here on Connect you've corresponded with and whom you've supported, I thought they might like to come support you at this difficult time for you, like @hopeful33250 @parus @greymelody @mia001 @kdo0827 @suscros68 @georgette12 @amberpep @lioness.
Has something changed with your brother's situation or with your disability prompting the financial tightness right now?
Hello @karen00
I've been reading your posts and understand the uncertainty that you are facing right now. It is very difficult to deal with financial problems. You mentioned that you are upset with your friends for refusing to help with your dog.
Have your friends helped you in the past either financially or helped you with your dog? It might be time to think of parting with your pet.
There are other alternatives to putting an animal in a pound. Have you looked for a new home/adoptive family for your dog? Perhaps a local vet or shelter and/or grocery store would post a picture of your pet where you could seek a new home. In that way, you would not have the responsibility for caring for the pet and/or finding a new place to live that would accept a pet.
It can be hard to part with an animal, but when it comes to your own well-being or that of a pet, you are definitely more important.

@karen00- Good afternoon. Is July when you have to vacate your apartment? Will you please remind me again about your pain, why and where you have it?
