Thank you everyone who wrote to us with your</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
encouragement & support. (we even got pictures</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2> of
other hounds) Mom had a rough day at work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
She was in a training session & by 11:30 am</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
was in tears & had to leave the room. Not </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
everyone saw but went to the rest room & cried</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
like a baby. She came out & her boss saw her</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
& they went into a corner of the department &</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
the boss asked what's wrong & mom can't talk</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
because of the crying, so the boss asked is it</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
your mom & mom shook her head no & then the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
boss asked is it Sadie & the sobbing started hard</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
all over again. When mom went to lunch people </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
could tell she was crying & one lady asked if that</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
was her who she heard & mom said yes. The lady</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
thought it was the 55 year old woman who lost her</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
31 year old son a month ago. That woman is still</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2> having
a hard time over that. The woman who</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
heard mom said she was crying too cause she</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
could hear her sobbing & she could tell it was</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
someone who was very heartbroken. How nice.</FONT></DIV>

Mom went to the vet with a list of questions. Boils</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2> down
to: this was caught early, this was only found</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
because of the not eating which is from the item in</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
my stomach. They think removing the spleen is not</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
a big deal, it's the item in the stomach that will weaken</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
me even faster since I don't eat, if they don't remove</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
the spleen I will bleed out. So they want to remove the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
spleen, send it to Purdue, go into the stomach & remove</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
the item which hopefully will make me want to eat & get</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
my weight back. If they don't do the surgery I have less</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
than 6 months because of the item, if they do the surgery</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
I have 6 months or more & won't have to worry about</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
bleeding out.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
They were ready to schedule me for surgery on Friday</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
November 21 but mom has another training day. They</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
penciled me in for Monday. Another day of crying.</FONT></DIV>
