keeping my dog

i have had my beagle alfie for nearly five years. he was a sickly puppy but i tried my best to help him to grow up.

now my mother is insisting we move to australia, my choices are to sell him or raise the money for him myself. so im trying to raise the money. i need the money for his bloodwork - £104 - and possibly his air fare, but i havent been told how much i need to accumulate for that.

hes been my best friend for nearly five years and ive tried everything - freelancing, blogging, questionnaires - to no avail. im on my last resort right now and i dont want to give him up.
