Well it's official... we got ourselves a lemon! Our poor weiner daughter Bacon has had a rough life, and we're coming to find our kids don't come cheap! We figured out the other night that we've spent a good $5,000 on this dog, and I'm pretty sure we haven't seen the end of it. The issues began a few years back with her diagnosis of Hemolytic Anemia (basically her body was attacking its own red blood cells). Well one week in the animal hospital and a blood transfusion later (yes, that's real) ... SHE LIVES! So that was a little miracle in and of itself, but unfortunately, she's back in the hospital. This time she's dealing with a Mega Colon (pretty common in cats but not so much for dogs). Her body just can't pass things through like it used to, which means that her sweet dad has to give her enemas a couple of times a week. If that isn't love, I don't know what is! She's slowly getting worse, and we're trying to be optimistic but aren't sure how much longer she'll be around. She has been an amazing dog these past 6 years and a great companion for us while we were waiting for our kids to get here. We sure love you Bacon!
