She's had two of those this year. 
She is one of the lucky ones, too, to have made it to 13. Poorly bred dogs often have a much shorter life expectancy.
She is also lucky that I am an empty nester and started a bow business to support her medical needs! |
I love the bow business idea!!!!!!!!!!
It gets pricey, I know it!
Often times, the 'inexpensive' or emotional choice becomes the most costly down the line...
Be clear about what you are prepared to take on and that should help guide you!
