She weighed an amazing 31.4 kgs(69.08 pounds). Since her arrival, she has now lost a total of 9.9 kgs(21.78 pounds!). WTG!!! She looks so amazing!

 

Her body score is now at a 3+/5. She gets her thyroid tabs religiously every 12 hours, and today, we ran a blood panel – $235+tx to see how her thyroid is doing, did her annual heartworm/tickborne disease testing, plus a wellness blood panel.

 

She had her vaccines, a thorough exam, and lots of love!

 

Today’s Vet visit was just under $735, and this does not include her thyroid tabs – we are waiting to see the results of her bloodwork first.

 

To put our dire financial status in reality – even if we did an approved adoption this weekend of one of The Beans, their adoption fee would not even cover Miss Rosie’s annual/meds.

 

We receive $160/month in generous automatic PayPal donations, and one month will still not cover the remainder of Miss Rosie’s bill for today.

 

We have dogs like Miss Olive and Mr. Brutus, who are a combined close to $2,000/month in medications alone.

 

We sincerely do wish to help Miss Marley, yet we now also have to move Miss Brooklyn from her current foster home.

 

With each passing month, Sean/I come closer to the realization that we may not make it to 2032 per our slow transitional plan for BHRR.

 

This is our truth, and most of BHRR remains financed out of our own pockets, yet Sean/I are hoping to retire within 12-15 years and have to think about our futures too……

 

We never have and shall never cut corners with any dogs with vetting, food, and comfort needs. We have only been able to commit to one dog to date in 2023 – Miss Pentu, and it may not be possible to help Miss Marley. 

 

Miss Rosie does remain AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!
