Meet our special needs kids-
1st there's Peanut the long haired chihuahua. We rescued him from a "breeder" who had left him in a tiny cage for seven months with a minimal amount of terrible food and water. He barely had any hair and since he had never had any socialization could not be handled at first. It took a long time but now he's the most confident dog in our group!
2nd we have Tommy Boy the English bulldog who was diagnosed with severe megaesophogus at birth. He was going to be put down but we were given the amazing oportunity to try to put weight on him. He's 2 and 1/2 and is the healthiest bully ever! He will always have the mega-e but we figured out how to manage it.
And last but not least is Penny our senior Boston terrier with pituitary Cushing's disease. We found out that that was what was wrong with her 2 months after we adopted her (that's how it goes, right?). The symptoms are managed by meds so she feels great most of the time.
I guess you could say were gluttons for punishment but I love 'em all SO much. My vet always reminds me that no good deed goes unpunished. Yeah, like that's gonna stop me!
