More: Remi had to have surgery when she was 8 months old, she was also diagnosed with arthritis early on because of the surgery. Despite these challenges Remi is happy every day. She loves everyone she meets (dogs and human friends). Not only does Remi know how to fetch a ball but she also brings me the newspaper every morning from the end of the driveway to the front door. She is so smart and caring I couldn’t have asked for a better best friend.
