The most money I ever spent was not for an ‘item’, it was on one of my puppy girls named Mandy. During the last three years of her life, she developed a heart condition that required regular monthly checkups, xrays, blood work and a shot to keep her as healthy as possible. And no, don’t go there, I was not tormenting her. The doctors at our trusted animal hospital assured me every time, that she was not suffering and still had a good quality of life. They would never have allowed for Mandy to endure pain and suffering, and neither would I have, ever. Period. Okay? In total, over the years I spend roughly $30.000 for her treatments as well as the at home medications. You may gasp for air now, and that’s fine. Wouldn’t you do everything you could for your children? Well, my dogs are my fur kiddos and the same concept applies. Ridiculous? By all means, have your opinion. I don’t care. My dogs have always been, and always will be, the greatest joy and blessing in my life. Their well being significantly adds to my own. And the love I have for ‘my girls’ doesn’t come with a budget or a price tag attached. I will gladly give all I can afford, to keep them healthy and happy. Because my heart beats for dogs, and that won’t ever change. Have a lovely Sunday!! 🥰
