Her leg was broken in two different places, and the previous owners hoped it would heal itself. Of course it didn't. The vet took in the dog and then my rescue group took her and did a fund raiser. They raised the discounted price (!) of $1500 to pay to fix her leg. She had four pins inserted to heal the bones and she's had two casts since then. Long story short, next Tuesday, hopefully she'll get this second cast off and have only a soft one (her third). The "back story" about her and me is briefly - my friend was fostering her. I was at her house visiting and admiring her foster dogs when she asked me if I wanted to foster Emma Rose. "Heck yes" I said through tears, as she put her in my arms. This was two days after my deceased son's birthday, so I attach significance to that... This little dog took control of my aching heart immediately. She helped me get through all the "firsts" of my beloved son being gone (birthday, Christmas, New Year's). Emma Rose made me laugh out loud and yes, I lavished her with hugs and kisses. With that cast on, she needed me; I needed to help her. As a foster mom, my job was to care for her while she healed, then put her up for adoption. Well, I turned into what they call a Foster Failure. I didn't want to give up the dog. They quoted me a discounted adoption fee of $300, Umm. I can't afford to do that. So I heard today that somebody donated the adoption fee so that Emma Rose could be mine. This anonymous person was touched by the "circumstances" of our situation and wanted me to have Emma Rose. Nobody has ever done anything like that for me. It leaves me speechless. How do you say thank you for something like this? So this little cutie is now mine. I still can't believe it. I don't know how to attach her picture.
