Dotty's Surgery


Well the worst is over. Dotty's surgery went well and the biopsy results indicated that it was a grade 2 mast cell tumor. Which means that it isn't cancerous but that we need to be very mindful of her and just feel her up when we can. Serena and I can't thank everyone enough who kept Dotty in their thoughts and prayers. She is our "baby" and very important to us. I want to especially thank all of our friends from the San Diego Pug Meetup for all of their kind words and advice. As first time dog owners we needed all the help we could get.

Last but not least we would love to thank Dr. Clifton and all of the staff at the Hillcrest VCA Clinic. They have been so kind, informative and PATIENT with us over the last 3 1/2 years. We consider ourselves lucky to have such a great crew on Dotty's team.

As for The Dotty, she was pretty groggy after the surgery and was acting like a drunk frat boy falling asleep sitting up in the car on the way home, getting her swerve on! But we couldn't help but feel for her with that sad little face and eyes and such a terrible looking scar. We'll let the photo speak for itself. Until next time! See ya soon!

Congrats Dotty, we were praying everything would be ok. I'm sure you guys are very relieved, I'm sure Dotty will be at the dog park again soon where Ronnie can injure his other knee! ;-)
