018: Sometimes Irrational is Totally Rational with Arwen Becker
In 2009, when the Becker's 4-year-old cat, Lewis, was attacked leaving him with a broken jaw, the entire family faced a very difficult decision; find a way to fund a $5,000 bill in the midst of the greatest financial difficulty of their lives and with no guarantees, or put him to sleep. The commitment and determination of their 12-year-old led the way to the seemingly irrational decision to go ahead with surgery. But Lewis wasn't just a cat, he was the connection to a life ended prematurely from cancer.
If you're an animal lover then you'll probably agree that our pets are also members of the family. And when faced with the most difficult decisions of pet ownership, it's never easy to know what to do when every option is difficult. Especially when your financial situation is in turmoil.
In this episode, Arwen shares some heartbreaking events about the lives of her family pets during some of the most stressful moments of her life. You'll see how her family, including her children, helped Arwen and her husband to make the best decision for their family.
