Rotty's and Vets

My 9 year old Rotti (yep I have 2 of em) had major surgery today. She had a lump removed from her chest and is the proud owner of an elizabethan collar, a script for drugs, a quiet corner and an anxious owner. She's drowsy, dopey, a bt tentative on her feet and she's gorgeous. You can't help loving a anmal who returns your affection ten fold. In human years she's about 72, that's a fair innings though I'd like her to hold on for a few more years if she can. It's why we pay the huge vet bills right?
