🐾🎉 Happy 11th Birthday to my ride-or-die, Belle!
I grew up with hunting dogs that lived outside and only came in during bad weather… then Belle came along and changed everything. She goes with me everywhere, has my back, is my best friend, and my shoulder to cry on. ❤️♿
When she was diagnosed with protein-losing enteropathy, it wrecked us. Hanna and I have worked our tails off to keep her weight up and keep her healthy — special food, multiple meds (including the kind you have to get from a compounding clinic 💸). Not cheap, but worth every penny.
We even had “the talk” about where to draw the financial line with Belle… I asked .kimberly8 , and she looked me dead in the eye and said, “Where do we draw the line with you?” 🤣 At that point, I knew we were on the same page.
Here’s to the dog who completely changed my life. I don’t know what I’d do without you, Belle. 💙🐕
