Her name is Ghost. We rescued her 10 years ago. We think she's a mix of pit bull and dalmatian, although most of her spots have faded away. Her gums are inflamed and it hurts to eat. The vet thinks a full teeth cleaning should fix it. Apparently dogs can get allergies to the tartar in their teeth! Poor old girl. Eating is her favorite thing! We're getting her teeth cleaned on Monday. It could cost up to $1100, but she is worth every penny.
And on top of that, because her arthritis has gotten really bad, she's going to have to get a $94 shot every month. Again, worth every penny because she's part of our family and we love her so much. She's an evil serial killer of small animals, but we love her anyway.
The vet did tell us that even 14-year-old dogs who get the shot of the medication, Librela, are able to play and run and jump up on the furniture again. Hopefully she will make it to at least 14 even if she is a big dog. She's in very good health otherwise.
Here is Ghost when she is not sad and at the vet:
Very true...proof there's no kind and loving god IMO
