Lady also has tons of health issues and I am so glad I never got another dog. Those vet bills can really rack up as a dog ages anyway, but I can't imagine doubling them.  |
that's the hard part of two. vet bills esp. dentals go up and up and up over the years...also instead of just taking Sadie everywhere i went, now i leave BOTH at home and that's sad when now i go up home and i'm alone. the whole reason i got one dog was to never go anywhere alone, and now look i leave them both at home because sadie is neurotic so she can't go in cars anymore, (so i guess it's good she has a buddy) and i can't just take one and leave the other

it's hard on me sometimes, but then again i wouldn't trade the love they both give me and each other and it is nice to be able to leave them at home and not worry they are lonely
