Alma Update: Surgery Safely Past, Surgical Staples Removed, Happy Dog and People

I guess the title of this entry says it all. Alma had her cancer surgery a bit more than a week ago at Hudson Highlands Veterinary. The vet removed three masses, and because of the size of the two incisions needed, had to use surgical staples to close the wounds. This meant several days of wearing a protective cone, of which Alma most assuredly was not a fan.

Oh, the indignity.

Our little dog has recovered well, though, and today was her trip back to the vet to have her staples removed, which was done quickly and well. We’re extremely grateful to the doctors and staff of Hudson Highlands for taking such good care of Alma, and to all who have sent their good wishes along the way. We’re also extremely grateful for the support of Amsterdog, who really are a model rescue organization. When Giving Tuesday comes around, please remember them (if not sooner). And if you’re thinking about fostering or rescuing a dog, they really do stand behind them.

A dog and her dad.

Oh my God, Dad, stop, you’re embarrassing me!
