Train wreck reality TV. Honey Boo Boo is the big one. I don't even know if this counts though because I willingly admit to liking and enjoying these shows. I've actually defended Honey Boo Boo to people because I grew up in the boondocks and knew people like that on the show. I don't actually doubt everything that happens on that show is totally true to the life because I just sit there and think, "Yep, that's Uncle Rick." "Oh, hey, the Kilburgs do that!" I really love redneck TV in general actually. It truly makes me nostalgic for where I grew up. For one I don't admit to, shamelessly enjoying Miley Cyrus. I came in like a wrecking ball...
If I were in your situation, I honestly don't think I could do it. Not because I wouldn't love the animal and want to keep them alive, but because I already saw my father pass away from cancer. I know I couldn't do it again with anyone again, human or animal, at least not for a long time. It's incredibly difficult to go through, and after hearing what my father had to say about it all, I realized he hated how much money we spent on him just to extend his life by the smallest bit. I understand the situation is different for animals, but I know it would be way too hard for me to try and get through. I'm happy you're doing all you can though. That dog is incredibly lucky to have you.
