Meet Penny


Penny's a two-year-old pitbull mix. She has long legs and a heavy body, which makes her knees susceptible to injury. And guess what? She needs two knee surgeries.

I'm her mom. I offered to foster her when she outgrew her first foster home and she was staying at Rainier Veterinary Hospital. I was working from home at the time and thought I wouldn't have her very long...

But, I adopted her, not realizing that she'd need close to $10,000 worth of medical expenses. In hindsight, maybe I should have looked into pet insurance, but I didn't.

This blog is to talk about the actions and decisions we make toward getting her surgury, the help we've receive along the way, her surgery, and hopefully her recovery.
