doing the unthinkable

We are doing the unthinkable at our house.....
We are adopting a mature dog. She is sort of, middle aged. She is heartworm positive, and has other illnesses (kennel cough and worms, un-neutered, etc). Yes, she will be an expensive girl. But, so sweet. But I was an unthinkable dog.....crushed by car, messed up hips, aggressive behavior, un-neutered, ugly. But someone saw that I could be a wonderful companion and saved me. So here we are again, doing the unthinkable......taking a dog into our love-circle that most people would never want because she is too old, too sick, too expensive, too, too, too.......
