Surgery Day for Octavia

Well our sweet girl got through surgery okay and has already eaten a little bit. I'll bet the poor thing was starving. She does love mealtime! We'll know in the morning if she comes home on Thursday or Friday. For now both front legs are in splints/casts so that her legs do not bend while the healing takes place. If all goes well she will get the pins out next Friday. She is still looking for a loving home. Of course she may have to be ripped from our cold, lifeless hands because she is such a sweet and loving pup. As we sat in the vet's office this morning, three different people commented on how mellow she was (especially for a lab puppy). That is so true. She can play with the best of them but she is also very content just cuddling with you. Then Maria came out to get her to take her to pre-op and Octavia smothered her with kisses.

It is not too late to make a donation as this little girl's surgery is going to be quite expensive. But she is worth every dime. On a separate note, I am so grateful to be associated with a rescue such as Lucky Dog which has such generous support from its volunteers and friends. Not all rescues have the option to care for their special needs pups. Thank you all for your generous and ongoing support. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference and helps a pooch.
