You should have never had a dog if you can't afford to care for her/him. Shame on you leavng her suffer. If it was my dog I would starve for a week to pay for vet fees , do anything, you are not fit to have an animal.
Also, selling something valuable on CraigsList is a good way to make quick money. I would recommend having a savings account with emergency funds in the future to deal with these types of issues. I wish you and your dog the best of luck.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
