Adopt a Dog!

We adopted a dog from our local pound years 9 ago my boys wanted a puppy so we went looking and found Kahlua she is a Louisianna catahoula leapard dog,she was turned in by a homeless couple along with her sister and the mother [mom had to be put down too sick to save] we wanted to adopt both of them but her sister had been adopted an hour before we arrived. She got sick about 8 mounths after we got her [almost died] finally a animal hospital in our area whom has specialists found she had addisons disease,she requires steroid injections every 7 weeks [175.00$ every time] and pills every other day [14$ a bottle] all total i have a ton of money in this dog but i promised her that i would take care of her as long as possible.This dog is our best friend and very protective of me personally we are aware that this breed has it's share of problems and that sooner or later her time will come and we will be saddened by her passing but she will never be forgotten.We have a deep love for dogs always have, don't care for cats [they are ok but don't want them in my house] we have plenty around our house [neibors are cat nuts] i'm really over them.
