I've been chuckling as we try to talk about my dog in tiny little fragments. I decided to go ahead and get logged into the group! She is doing great finally! She's had a large growth on her hip for a couple years, but original biopsy showed it was nothing to worry about, so we didn't have it removed. But, all of a sudden it changed and got larger and yucky, so into surgery she went. The incision was huge and gnarly! I'll see if I can figure out how to post pictures if you'd like. lol

Being the clever girl that she is, she figured out how to remove her cone as well as the tshirt we tried to cover it with, AND proceeded to rub all over the furniture (something she always does--not sure if she thinks she is a cat or what!) So, she totally tore open the incision and had to have a second surgery with staples and drains and a different cone and tshirt attempts. There was blood all over the place to say the least.

She had one drain removed by the next day and after going in for a check a couple days later, they decided to leave the other in a couple days longer than planned. We came home and she got that one out within a couple hours. She also figured out how to get out of the second cone! Her staples were supposed to be removed Monday, but she went ahead and got them all out on her own. I don't even know how she managed all this, but the vet's office was very impressed with her skills!

We had a family wedding this past weekend, so she got to see her mama, which was great. She spoiled her with goats milk and all sorts of healthy treats.And yes, she still complains about me holding Rosie hostage when she left for school. But, we had our other dog (the one pictured in my avatar who died earlier this year of cancer) and they were only 8 months apart and were inseperable. It seemed best for the dogs if they stayed with me. She did agree, but it was not an easy decision for anyone.

How are you feeling? I know you've had some health stuff?
