Return of the bubble dog - 2nd July 2012

Poor Cuba's xray

The 'Bubble' dog has returned. Our darling fluff ball Cuba has earned this nickname after a string of expensive and obscure illnesses since birth – think chicken allergy, shoulder strain and almost losing an eye. One friend suggested we put her in a bubble to keep her safe.
Well, the next instalment in the Cuba chronicles has arrived. She has a shocking case of tonsillitis and today needed her tonsils removed. Yes, you read that correctly – our dog had its tonsils removed.
She is down a few teeth and two tonsils. We are down a big wad of cash. Today I am both grateful and smiling. I’m smiling because the adorable fluff ball is ok and grateful that we succumb to the embarrassment a few years and purchased pet insurance. Wise move!
