On July 5 we reached a milestone...we adopted Smokey or rather he allowed us to be a part of his life 1 year ago. It has been quite the year but honestly we don't know how we ever lived without him. He gives us never ending love, lots of tail wags, laughs and is ever so inquisitive about life. On our recent vacation, Smokey embraced and relished each car ride, hotel stay, chair lift ride, walk and swim with enthusiasm and a 'let's do it' attitude. We could all take lessons from Smokey. Happy Anniversary Smokey and yes, you can sleep in our bed anytime.
I also wanted to put a message out to all those people considering buying or adopting a dog in light of the recent over crowding in animal shelters. I calculated our "necessary" expenses over the past year which includes vet visits, food, training and immunizations...we have spent about $2,500 which DOES NOT include the extras we like to provide to our #1 poochie which includes weekly squeaky balls, chewies, baths at Pawtrero (weekly), pretty leashes, treats, etc. So to all of you who are considering adopting a pet and making them a member of your family, they are expensive so adopt wisely and if you can't afford it wait until you can.
