When we took Biscuit for his first Vet appointment the Vet gave us a welcome folder that contained information about pet insurance companies. Tony and I had a good laugh about that! Pet insurance? For a dog??? Absurd!
If only we had known! Now, with all of Biscuit's pre-existing conditions, we couldn't get pet insurance on our sweet little beast if we wanted to!
Biscuit has had respiratory problems, GI issues, skin problems, and more. We've been to specialists, paid for countless tests and procedures, provided him a special diet, and administered more medicine than I care to think about!
We are all quite smitten with our sickly little pooch - especially Lily. Lily loves to pet Biscuit, snuggle with him in his dog bed, and basically never be more than an inch away from his nose. Biscuit is incredibly sweet and very tolerant of Lily loving on him! We're hoping this mutual love affair will help soften the blow when Lily learns that we spent all of her college money on Biscuit's medical bills!
Biscuit truly is a wonderful dog. He has a great temperament, lots of energy, and he truly is the happiest sick dog you'd ever want to meet.
The folks at the Vet's office love him and he loves them. The last time we were there, one of the doctors shared with me that their very first patient was a dog named Biscuit and that that Biscuit had chronic health issues, too. My guess is that it must have something to do with the name. Right? Makes sense to me.
Therefore, from this day forward, our dog shall be known as Gary!
