I forgot to mention that my rescue puppies were orphans. Their mother died in pupbirth at the pound. To adopt the puppies and save them from the needle, I had to agree to take the mother dog's carcass, which weighs 93 pounds.
The pet mortuary wants $185 for embalming, $350 for a nice doggy casket, nothing fancy, and $400 for a pet cemetery plot, so all told it adds another $1000 to my immediate expenses. I have to take care of this quickly, because it's so heartbreaking to hear those pups whine whenever they go past the trunk of my car.
I hate to ask for help, but I've already signed up for the drinks package, so if I can't raise at least $2050 by the end of the week, I'll have to settle for a mini-suite, those playful puppies will go back to the kill shelter, and their dear mother will become fake roadkill.
I cannot believe someone would prey on your generosity for car repairs and rent; this is life or death.
