<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Everyone!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wanted to give an update on precious, that
basset girl who is blind and had a huge malignant tumor close to her
anus.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, Dr. Bath removed the tumor and she reacted
well. It left a big cavity so in the space where the tumor was it developed a
fistula so poor baby Precious went to surgery again. She again reacted well and
now, 2 weeks after, she is doing great. She still goes every day so Doctor Bath
applies a yellow ointment that is helping the scar to heal.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>She is still using the cone around her neck and Deb
(her momma) said it does not bother her at all. She runs, plays, barks, howls,
and does everything even though she still has some stitches on and the fact that
she is blind.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Doctor said she has a great recuperative
healing power. Of course all the drool and prayers she received helped a lot
too.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>She will probably have the last stitches removed
next weekend and will be well and ready for Santa Paws!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Debra is very thankful for all the drool she
received. It meant a lot. Thank God dear Precious is well and hopefully won't
need any more surgery. She is super cute and sweet.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We send healing drool for all those who need,
Bassets or Humans,</FONT></DIV>
