Mojo's operation....

Mojo had an operation on Monday - she had this HUGE growth on her side that just wouldn't go away. Other growths have been appearing, none staying long or getting huge, but this one just kept getting bigger.

It took 2 days, but now she's normal - except that she has to wear the collar for 14 days. She's still on painkillers and antibiotics until Monday Sept 1 - the stiches come out the following week. She spent the first few days taking the stairs really slowly, and only coming down to eat and go to the bathroom. She prefers being upstairs, so that's where she wanted to be.

I was talking with a neighbour, and he commented that Mojo had pretty major surgery... imagine that kind of cut on your body! The shaving makes it look really bad, but the cut is pretty clean. With that collar on, she looks like a vacumn with legs when she eats!

Because of the stress of the whole thing, she's shedding like crazy now. Dog hair everywhere!

All we have to do is make sure Ezra doesn't help take the stiches out early...

I don't care - Dogs do talk!

I'm sitting at my computer, catchin up on all the blogs others have read.... and then I hear....

*groan*

It's Mojo, my older dog. She comes into the room, sits down and lays down beside the chair.

I read some more.

She sits up, stratches her ears, then sits up straight, and *groan* .

I look at her.

She has the same look Suzanne gets when I'm supposed to do something.

I shift a bit in the chair.....

Mojo leaps up, runs to the back door, with the stupid doggie grin on her face.....

Time for pottie.

And Ezra comes once the door is open.

I did this last year. It's the Humane Society's fundraiser. This year they have gone online with thier donations. If you want a tax receipt, $20 is the minimum. We take the whole family on the walk - Ezra liked the pools last year, as you can see from this photo.

What a day

First....

Nathanael has a bad day at school. We got a note from the teacher.

Second....

Ezra got away from Suzanne at 12:30. She was spotted running in the Shopper's Drug Mart parking lot on Portage about 4:00. She also went into the store.

Someone cornered her in a small yard about 4:30. That's when she came home.

Just realized - some of you may not know... Ezra is a 9 year old greyhound.

Third.....

Chris had physio and practice today... so the wrists are quite sore.

Fourth....

Mojo got into the garbage yesterday... and got sick today. We don't know what she ate, but it emptied her on both ends...... multiple times. We think (= hope) that she is finished now.

Thank you, God - there is no Fifth.
