Been a rough year. Lost one of my greyhounds last spring and the replacement didn't work out. Fey went back to Oregon Greyhound adoption and someone else adopted her. November, we got a shepard-mix, who had just weaned her pups. All three of our males accepted her. A week later, Baby (a toy poodle) was diagnosed with diabetes. Plus, he had liver problems and was going blind. We started giving him insulin shots. Less than a month later, Kellie took him to the emergency vet because he was refusing to eat. It looked like low blood sugar, but the test came back "off the scale high". They also said he was completely blind. We decided it was time to let go. Kellie got Baby when he was 9 weeks old and had him for over 14 years. So, after spending over $3000 in a year on vet bills for Baby, we put him down two weeks ago.
I'd post some pictures, but my old links are N/G.
