On tuesday momma, Mandy and I hopped in the car and momma took me to my girlfriends' house in Miami and dropped Mandy off at the vet for her nose job (as Jack put it!) and then momma went to see her family up north. We are all home again so figured I would update you all.
First off- I have yet another new contraption called a seatbelt. ugggh. Totally not cool!
Second- Mandy had this hideous lump on her beak so she had to get a nose job to fix it. Momma said it is called a 'rostral mandibulectomy'. Whatever... I was calling her 'half-beak' but momma said that is a kind of fish and also not very nice. Really she looks pretty much the same.
You can see that she is missing a few toofers and some beak when she is smiling but even then momma thinks she is still a pretty girl. And on the up side she finally is able to produce a respectable amount of drool! Momma is less impressed by this though.
The doctor who did her nose job said that it was not as bad as it could have been and sent part of her beak out to be tested for bad sickies. We will know next week sometime so please keep your paws crossed that she is sickie-free!
Third- Momma was bummed that I went to my girlfriend's house instead of driving north but there was another travel-sized doggie there named Shadow (my cousin) who did a good job of preventing doggie-withdrawl.
I did get lots R & R in with Swissie and Jetta though so I had fun!

We've got paws khrossed fur Mandy!

fingers crossed for Mandy!!!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for Mandy. And, hey, we wear seatbelts all of the time in the car. We like putting them on because we know a car ride is next.
ReplyDeleteThe nose job came out great. She still has a lovely smile. You need to mind your labramanners and not make fun of the poor old gal.

Shoot there are a few pooches this week facing medical worries. Please bring us back some good news - we'll be sending the vibes...
ReplyDeleteOh - I can't tell the difference in Mandy's nose at all! We're keeping everything crossed for her.
ReplyDeleteAnd hey! I like your seatbelt, Moose - you look like an AstroDog or something about to take off on an important space mission!
