I am completely in favor of dog clubs advertising in the newspaper to offer
the very best of services but I would never "send" a person to the newspaper
in search of a dog if one requested of me where best to find a specific
breed. Rather, I would warn such a person of the fact that ALOT of these
ads are very deceptive. I become sick at heart when I see a Berner
advertised for sale in the pet column of the newspaper.
Yesterday, Moses had his first post chemotherapy (bone cancer)blood tests
and urinalysis and I should have the results today. Naturally, I am anxious
to receive the results although Moses seems to be doing quite well. Angell
Memorial called, too, yesterday, to inquire as to Moses' condition. Thanks
to their finest of orthopedic and oncology departments, Moses is progressing
beautifully, although he tends to overuse his remaining back leg, in which
there is some crepitus which can be easily felt. My dogs' regular
veterinarian removed the few remaining staples from the amputation site; two
of my Bernese have lost a leg to cancer, Moses to osteosarcoma and
Yoda(1992-2002) to synovial cell sarcoma and I constantly marvel at the
surgical sites, which were left so tidy, no infection, swelling, or pain,
with the dog trying to stand up literally within hours of surgery; how very
blessed we are, in the Northeast, to have such a fine facility as Angell
Memorial Animal Hospital available.
