Puppies are a Girl’s Best Friend

For over nine years, I have had a little girl in my life who has shown me the sweetest, most unconditional love imaginable: my beautiful maltese, Adri. Most of you probably have pets and can relate to that special bond. Much like a child, our pets rely on us for their safety, health and overall well-being.
Well, last week, my baby dislocated her hip. We don’t know how it happened, but after x-rays and pain medicine, it was concluded that the only option was surgery. This scary news was followed by even worse news: the surgery would total $1500, minimum. Of course I did what any pet parent would do and found a way to make it work (thank you to all who have contributed – especially my sponsors!).
I dropped her off this morning and I will be able to pick her up tomorrow, Christmas Eve. I’m so glad that my little Adri is going to be all better soon! I never realized until she got hurt just how much she means to me. So to all you pet parents out there: I hope you spoil your little fur babies to no end this holiday season!
I’ll be taking a little break due to Christmas and traveling, but normal posts will resume next week. Happy Holidays!
UPDATE: Adri’s surgery went smoothly and I will be picking her up first thing tomorrow morning!! YAY!

I’m SO glad she’s getting the surgery! I really hope it doesn’t take you too long to pay it off. At least she’ll be healed before Christmas! 🙂

Me too! I had to just go ahead and get the surgery before it got worse. She has 8 weeks of recovery time, but I feel so much better about it all now! Thanks for your support!

What sweet pictures! I know the trouble of accidents and finances colliding — you are so blessed to be surrounded by people who are so willing to help! Hope pup gets better soon. I don’t know where I’d be without my own little munchkin!

I know how you feel about making sure you’re dog is taken care of. One of our dogs died this week and it was tough on the whole family, even though he was well into old age and was bound to happen soon. Glad your girl is doing okay!

Hi Megan, I’m so glad Adri’s surgery went well and I can’t imagine how horrible it must have been to hear she needed surgery plus how much it would cost. Wishing you both a Happy New Year! So glad we’re connected
