Some dogs are born under an unfortunate condition that requires them to be constantly cared for. An example of this is a pit bull named Nutmeg, that had to be monitored 24/7. She was born with a cleft palate, so her owners had to spend several weeks trying to keep her alive.
Nutmeg’s owners, Chris and Mariesa, were very invested in her survival. Mariesa’s mother also became emotionally invested in the dog and helped them care for it. Furthermore, the couple’s friends encourage them throughout the ordeal.
When Nutmeg became a little older, she underwent surgery that fixed her cleft palate. After that, she no longer became hard to take care of. The owners went on to watch her become an expressive dog who loved putting her mouth on all sorts of things.
If there’s one thing that Nutmeg loves to do, it’s sleeping inside a swing that looks more like a hammock. She loves to spend most of her days being lazy inside it, only pocking her head out occasionally. Mariesa loves walking by this swing and seeing her dog feeling comfortable and rested.
During Nutmeg’s first birthday, her owner decided to give her a special gift. They found a carriage designed like the one in the Cinderella story. Since one needed it, they decided to buy it.
The couple dressed their dog like a princess and put her inside the carriage. They also prepared a large dog cake that Nutmeg enjoyed thoroughly. It was a picture-perfect scene encapsulating how much the couple loved their dog.
It was understandable how the couple formed a deep emotional connection with a dog like Nutmeg. They were her lifeline, her only chance at living a normal life. Thanks to them, another dog with a cleft palate received a happy ever after, just like a princess.
