this is Betsey a lab mix rescue dog my wife pick up for Christmas about 8 years or so ( I am terrible with keeping track of time )
we have had several " growths cut out over the last few years . last two on Monday , one on her front leg a small one and one in the center of her back . she has to be one of the best dog's we have shared time with ( good thing my other dogs cant read )
she did get out today and chase a few rabbits that my wife let escape from the pen ( another story and project now )
Betsey is like one of our kids I have never kept track of all the vet bills it really does not matter , but I would guess a few of marks m1 could have been at my place now [:D]. but I would not trade her for a parker high grade . now the wife and kids well a hi-point would be a good trade some days [:D]

    That poor sweet beast, I hope she has lots of year's of rabbit chasing ahead of her.

    Soon as she's healed up enough to roll over on that surgical wound, ol' Betsey's due a whole lot of tummy rub's! [:)]

    We have a Basenji mix that we've had a tumor removed from her leg. Hope your pup recovers quickly! I bet that vet bill hurt!

    Betsy doesn't need to wear a "radar dish" after her surgeries?? THAT is a good dog!!!
    I hope all the best for her and that this will be the last she'll have to go through..

    we had one the first time but never used it . we actually just put a t-shirt on her to help keep the other dogs and her from messing with it , but it was never a issue for her . this time its in the middle of her back and a small one on her front leg but she acts like there no problem at all , . I have to take her back in On Monday to have the drain tube removed .
