Diagnosis: Roxy

Came back to Portland from our vacation in Central Oregon a day early. Wasn't planning on being back until late Wednesday night, but we got a call form Katie's mom saying that Roxy, Katie's dog, was having some.... issues... down there...

Seems little miss thang had six stones in her bladder, and needed surgery. Right now.

A souvenir from John, our wonderful vet/brother-in-law's dad

"Why don't you make a necklace or earrings out of them" was John's suggestion.

Anyway, she went to surgery, got six stones ---- which were anywhere from rice to marble sized ---- removed, and while she was under the anesthetic she got her teeth cleaned, and a fatty tumor removed.

Needless to say when we picked her up today she wasn't feeling so hot.

Don't believe me? Ask her yourself.

Sad panda.

She'll be under the weather for about 10 days, then she'll be back to her only spunky self.
