One of my good friends back home has two dogs, Molly and Opal. One was blind and diabetic and the other had liver problems. I thought it was so crazy how the diabetic one always hadt o get insulin shots and had to take meds for the blindness. The liver one had to have specially prepared foods and I don't know it seemed crazy.
Well when I get to college my roommate begins to tell me about her dogs. Her dogs have pet insurance because they are always getting injured; broken legs, torn ACLs. Oreo suffered from cataracts and soon after blindness in one eye as well as glaucoma. Vanilla suffered from severe allergies that would cause her to bite the fur off her legs. Vanilla also had liver problems and she was taking medicine that caused blindness.
This I thought was crazy. The medical problems all these dogs were having was unimaginable. The amount of money, time, effort, to take care of these dogs seemed endless. The grief the families must feel to watch these dogs deteoriate. From what i've heard having a dog is like having a brother or sister or daughter or son, they're apart of your family and when you loose a family member you loose apart of you.
For my roomie... RIP Vanilla.... kisses.
