Surgery and Sad eyes

Today was Tigers surgery. He is looking out the window and saying to himself, "Why is she taking me to the Vet again? I was just there and I hate it. I would rather be home chasing the cat or playing with the kids. Anywhere but here."


This door was the only obstacle Tiger had before surgery. It took three of us to get him on the other side of this door. He sure is strong when he sets his mind to it. I have scratches all up and down my arms. I did not even think to ask about the arms of the other two women who helped. I just kept apologizing because Tiger was crying like a baby at this stage and trying to get out of the building. Everyone in the room thought we were abusing him. Really?? You could hear him bawling three miles away...


This was after the surgery. I had to show you the smile on the sweet angels face that took care of my baby. She was smiling because he was out cold all morning and she did not have to listen to him cry! He was also so excited when he woke up and saw her, he just cuddled up to her and cooed. I have such a weird dog.

Here he is on the way home from the hospital. He is giving us sad eyes and making us feel bad we put him through this awful surgery. He has 27 stitches and barely made it into the car.

The good news is that the doctor removed all of the tumor and said he could live ten more years! Yeah! We should celebrate.

We really do love you Tiger. Even if we make you go to the hospital. Now we will spend the next few days nursing Tiger back to health.
