What lengths we go to for dogs....love mine!

This is Callie, our very special special-needs golden retriever.



We adopted Callie from the Golden Retriever rescue group who intervened when her original owners took her to Animal Control after 6 years (!) and asked to have her put down for being too aggressive. I don't think there is such a thing as an aggressive golden, but this one is so excessively sweet and loving, very laid back, and showed all the passive startle responses of a dog who's been abused. She had some significant health issues and I don't think they wanted to / could pay for her care so they were having her put down.

Over the past couple - three years we have come to understand the full extent of her health issues. She is diabetic and is now blind, requires special food and insulin shots promptly every 12 hours. On top of the 4K it cost to get her emergency services to save her life and get her properly diagnosed, we spend about $250/month on all her meds and special food. Guess that's love!
