All her dishes are raised where I feed her.  The dishes in the video are Rudy and Shadows.  But that is a good idea even for them.  Thanks

Smiley had her 1 month checkup post op.   Vet says she looks great however they found another MCT on her back leg.  It's small but we are treating.   She is moving around a lot better and has been gaining strength in her front leg.  Caught her trying to chase a squirrel yesterday.   She loves keeping our yard free of critters, moles, squirrels, raccoons & opossums.

Unfortunately she isn't as quick as she used to be.  But she's loving life and I love her.  Looking forward to her continued progress.

Smiley has a job to do and nothing's stopping her, that's great! All that interaction and feeling so needed and important will keep her happy, it's the best medicine there is.

Sorry to hear about the other MCT, I'm so glad it's treatable.

Go Smiley! We love you too 🙂

Just catching up with your sweet Smiley. Never was a dog more aptly named! I'm pleased she's doing so well and that you've caught the second MCT at such an early stage. And those critters better not get complacent, sounds like Smiley's back in business...
