My sister will kill me...

My little sister had a nightmare about having a beard. Really, what female hasn't? My nightmare is coming to life but i maintain it. Anyway, my sister in law skillfully crafted this picture and slipped it into a frame at my Dad's house. It took a while but everyone finally noticed it. My little sister wasn't thrilled but I love how surreal this picture looks so I'm putting it on here. Sorry E. you can hit me later.

My god she was adorable!

Oh Moooom, quit embarrassing me!

Lanie week!

Lanie loved a car ride! Even with her stupid cone on she couldn't be forced to be unhappy. She was always cheery and excited. I just hope she gets car rides in doggie heaven.

Bye baby- 12 years of awesomeness

My baby passed. Kiss your babies today.

Lanie update

Lanie came home last night and we snuggled and she ate a hearty meal. Then this morning she was cool and she ate a bit but then threw up. I called the vet and they said bring her in so I went to get her to the car and she collapsed. i rushed her to the vet and she's there now. Kiss you doggies and kitties for luck!

Cross your fingers

Lanie had another procedure just before Christmas and they opened her up like a present and took the wound out and then re-did her. She had stitches until today . YAY for her side healing! So I took her to the regular vet to show her off and let them know she was good and just had a bit of depression. I also mentioned that because she was depressed she was hardly eating and only walks and car rides brought her joy. Well, Dr. Miller looked at her gums, said they were pale and ran a couple of tests. So today I was all excited and then learned she has a mass in her belly, most likely her spleen. She had x-rays, an ultrasound, a blood transfusion and is currently in surgery. Cross your fingers for my dog baby!


Update! As of 8 she is doing great, waking up from surgery. She's now spleenless and the vet said he'd email pics. a normal spleen would have weighed about a pound but hers was 6 pounds! Learn more here
