you know your pet is part of the family...


when she needs surgery and you cry hoping she's make it through then give her plenty of treats when she does...



It's hard to write a blog when pretty much everything worth writing about we do as a family and everyone else writes about it in their blog, but here's a new one. Hope you have a strong stomach.
As you know, Dakota is our 10 yr old chocolate lab. She's been getting these fat deposits on her shoulder and neck and they are bothering her when she walks too long. You can see them in the picture on the left. Oblivously, she is fine here.
Anyway, we decided to have them removed.


I guess this is like liposuction. 5# of fat. I think I like the old fashion way of dieting to get rid of my extra.








She looks pretty sore here




We worried that she'd be mad at use like when we had her fixed. But she has done really well. Now look at her, she looks pretty lean and mean, but she still knows she's good for a treat when she wants one.

Wow... I didn't reliaze she was that old. Ok I have to ask what made you want to take pictures of the fat? That surprised me. I hope she gets feeling better soon.
