and then …

It is with a light heart that I write this tonight.

I was up at the crack of dawn this morning to take my fat bottomed girl up to the animal teaching hospital in Stara Zagora.  Dimitar, a young fella from the village who speaks English, said he would accompany me in case I needed translation and for helping to lift Mia when required, so just after sunrise we hit the road.  I was filled with trepidation and my heart was very heavy, given the information that the vets had given me about her cancer on Tuesday.

Just a few hours after arrival, it was done and the news is very good.  They removed a very large tumour…I asked one of the vets how big and he said that when she had arrived that morning she weighed 55 kilograms, this afternoon she weighed about 54.5…They took a chest Xray and there’s no evidence of lung cancer, which was one of the great concerns on Tuesday.

And the poor love looks a little disheveled with her mostly shaved arse and tail….it’s going to be a cold few days for her I think.  She has a fairly substantial wound and she will be ‘ole buckety’ for a good few weeks

but she’s alive and the vets are pretty optimistic that she will be with me for some time to come…how good is that ??  🙂

To all of you who contacted me after yesterdays entry, a huge thank you.  It helps to deal with stuff like this when you know there are people out there thinking of me…and my dog

Now I can get back to my proper entries…I do have lots to talk about and the weather is forecast to be as cold as charity for the next few days, so a great chance to bring this up to date.

for now…ciao
