She sounds like a lovely companion, but your story reinforces doing your homework before you adopt/purchase a dog. I have always been a cat person, but they come with similar costs, although maybe not the bramble ear issue. Our last cat developed both arthritis and asthma (who knew cats got asthma?) so he was on long term drugs. Haven't worked out what we spent on him over his 11 years, but whatever it was, it was a bargain for the companionship and entertainment he gave us.
