From NZ, CapK writes :You don't really understand the true cost of medical care unless you have to make regular visits to vets!
---------------------------------------------------------
Tell me about it! Mercy!
My hairless Chinese Crested was a "rescued" dog. I got Pepsi from the breed rescue (great folks who dedicate themselves to the breed).
Pepsi had been in a puppy mill where she produced litter after litter, when she got old she was left tied outside the local shelter, no food or water. The local Breed Resue got her through the Shelter.
She was six months with Rescue Lady I got her from.
By then, 10 years old, terrified of strangers, afraid to be touched, homely as could be but ... those eyes!
After about six months of love and care she was a happy, loving great companion for the three years she lived. However, it took $2,000 the first year to get her healthy ... in Vet fees and special diets and for various miscellany like collar, leashes, licenses etc.
Don't let anyone tell you that a Rescue Purebred dog is free! T'ain't so!
But I would do it again in a minute for Pepsi.
Who needs a newer car? Dogs love you for you!
wow
P. S. Pearl is also a Rescue but she was given up because her former owner died so she is just happy to have a good home again.
