Her medications cost me $250 a month. Between those and her vet bills to monitor all her conditions, I could buy a female Maltese puppy from a top tier show breeder every year!
As far as not being show quality, as long as Lady and Lacy keep dressing so well, no one will ever know that they're not Best in Show!  |
Oh my!... that is so sad, that poor pup....she is so lucky you two crossed paths....bless you for your kind and compassionate heart.....give her kisses, (that made me tear up.)....
