Bolita



Isn't she adorable?

She had surgery (spay & incontinence) last Thursday, but unfortunately, there were complications. Our concerns being that her incission was separating (glue!), not eating or drinking fluids, throwing up, not passing urine, lethargic and having trouble breathing.

She is doing much better now, thank God! Her kidneys are working, she is able to pass urine, and has a better attitude. She even gave the doctor a kiss! We'll be going up to UCDavis tomorrow to visit her.

No, she is not out of the "woods" yet, but all test results are encouraging...indicating that she'll be fine.

These past few days, needless to say, have been very stressful. Personally, I think that this painful event has brought my husband and I "closer". We have hugged each other, cried and prayed together- we've been there for one another.

Poor baby, She looks so sweet. I know it breaks your heart to see her suffer. Give her lots of hugs and kisses from me, and I can't wait to hear that you all have gotten through this.

Stay strong, I;ll be thinking of you.

She is pretty cute. I know how important dogs (pets) are. I hope she gets much better soon.

I thought of you yesterday... I was on a walk in the woods praying and you can to mind.


God bless.

I hope she is better now.

I dread the day that one of our pooches health goes awry. So far we have been very fortunate. Of course, we door our part by feeding them the healthiest food possible, exercising them, and giving them much love. But some of it is luck (and some of it genetics - that's why mutts are so great).

Sending you many woofs!

Our poor cat Scrunchy had to have surgery two years ago to remove big crystals that were clogging up his urethra. But he's doing pretty well now.

Our cat, Scrunchie, had a similar problem once. He got a big kidney stone and couldn't pee for two days. We had to get him surgery to remove the stone since he would have died shortly otherwise. It's been two years since then and he's doing fine.
