Dog Days of Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring

Dog Days of Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring

Back in 2007, shortly after a disastrous back surgery, I had a lot of time on my hands. Georgie was working at Bank of America so I was alone for a good part of the day. Unable to walk or do much of anything during the recovery period, she had an idea:
To help relieve my boredom, we decided to buy a dog. That's where Zosia entered the scene. She was a game changer.

Now over nine years later, the little critter has completely taken over our lives and now runs the household. There's not much we can do without passing things by her. She has saved us thousands of dollars in vacation costs to exotic destinations as well as a huge bundle in other entertainment costs. We can't really leave her for over 5 hours and her vet and grooming fees run a few hundred bucks a year. Even when we do steal 3 or 4 days away without her, that's a $25 /day fee. The truth is we don't mind one bit because we are rewarded every day by her constant displays of unquestioned love for us. It is difficult to imagine our lives without her.

That's the danger of owning and loving a dog. 

If that;s the largest danger we will face, it comes at a small price.
