Last Thursday, poor Abby was handed a triple whammy in the form of a teeth cleaning and the removal of two growths at the vet. It turns out the growths aren't anything to be worried about but she was licking the one on her back quite a bit so the vet thought it would be best to remove it. Of course, since she loves going to the vet, she was so excited when we got there, but I don't think she was quite as fond of the place when we left. Because she has, like most dogs I suppose, a tendency to lick and rip bandages off, she has to wear her "lamp shade" when we're not around. But Abby is so good, she never complains or tries to take it off. She was pretty out of it the first night and has been hobbling around on three legs since then. The kids have been so sweet and always want to know where she is and if she's feeling better. Her incisions look fine and should heal nicely. It's hard to be a 10-year old dog!
