SCHATZE'S HOME!!!!!!!!!

Corey and I just brought her home an hour ago. She's doing so well! She had no interest in sitting still in the car - she had to look in Corey's backpack, stick her nose out the window, rearrange her blanket and climb on our laps (of course we took turns sitting in back with her). We did manage to keep her calm, though. Now she is laying in her basket, having a snooze.

Thanks so much to all the wonderful doctors and the rest of the staff at the Veterinary Referral Clinic and Emergency Center who saved out precious dog!!!

SCHATZE'S HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Schatze

My heart has broken 100 times in the last 3 days, but Schatze is doing well now. She got sick last Wednesday. Corey and I went through a million frights and thought we would lose our precious dog. But she is a strong willed wonder dog, and she has people and dogs the world round praying for her and sending good vibes. Thank God, and thank everyone.

Schatze had her gall bladder out yesterday, even though it was quite risky - it was riskier not to do it. She is recovering nicely now, and has even eaten a bit of baby food. She still has some problems to clear up, and some healing to do, but I have such faith that she will be fine.

Corey and I have visited her every day since she has been at the Veterinary Referral Center. Everyone there is so kind to her and to us. Today she was pretty sleepy, but she did walk over to me when they brought her in to see me. Corey and I hugged, kissed, and petted her as she lay on the table, very calm and snoozy.

I love my dog.

I guess today is Schatze's eating day - that's all she seems to want to do.
