A dogs world

I have just been exhausted and going through a bad time with my dog. She started limping really bad on her right rear leg so I took to the vet and they sent me to a specialist, bottom line is she needs a very expensive operation... but, before we do that she has a couple of other problems that we need to take care of first. Last Sunday when we were at my mom's my Aunt reached down and patted Brodie her on the head and mentioned how hot she was. That Monday the van came around to give her a bath, they come around every month, trim her toenails, check her ears and clean her teeth. When they brought her back into the house the guy told me that her ear was very red and swollen so I took her to the vet. She has two kinds of bacteria in her ear and it was so swollen they could not even get in to clean it out without knocking her out. The knee specialist had to knock her out to look at her knee further so they said to wait and have doll done at one time. While they were there they noticed that around where she urinates is very red and swollen, this has been going on for a long time. Because she is part pit bull and part lab the muscles around where she urinates tightens up when she stands up after urinating and urine gets caught in there and burns her so of course that is another operation. So on Monday they're going to remove her ear canal and fix her so that she won't get burned by urine anymore. After about six weeks after the infection all heals up then they can go ahead with the other operation that's going to leave her out of commission for about sixteen weeks. Needless to say we have been running around like crazy, of course they don't have any surgeons in my area so we have to travel, trying to get blood work and tests done.

The weather has been really nice here so wherever we end up traveling we try to find a nice park and grab a something to eat and sit at the park while were waiting for Brodie to be done. Yesterday we tried Greek food and it was pretty good, don't eat the spinach thingy.
 
Today's going to be a pretty much a lazy day. My afternoon attendant has the day off so I'm just going to sit around and watch stuff that I TiVod and probably sleep all day. Tonight Stanley, David and Corinne are going to come and spend the night and spend the day tomorrow with mom for Mother's Day.
