People Plan and God Laughs
Coco ©Dunja Oertel
Case in point, after some obscenities and a lot of venting to my wonderful husband, I’ve acquiesced to having a second surgery because of a complication resulting from back surgery I had in November. While I was away from the keyboard then, you got to enjoy some guest bloggers. This surgery provides less lead-time so I’ve not recruited anyone to fill in. (I shouldn’t be gone for more than a few weeks, unless God laughs, that is!). If you’re hungry to read I thoroughly recommend the following sites to whet your whistle: Kathie please make all of the following live links
– PetConnection Blog (a team of writers, myself included)
– Fully Vetted by Dr. Patty Khuly
– Daily BARK (a team of writers)
– About.Com, Veterinary Medicine by Janet Tobiassen Crosby
– Pawcurious by Dr. V.
By the way, if you are looking for the perfect Mother’s Day gift for a woman who happens to be crazy about dogs, please check out the Speaking for Spot Gives Back Program. When you purchase your copy of Speaking for Spot (complimentary gift wrap included), the animal-centered nonprofit organization you select will receive $6.00 from the purchase price. Check it out, and if you don’t see your favorite nonprofit organization on the list, encourage them to contact me. The program provides easy money, and goodness knows they could probably use it!

Good luck with your surgery! Looking forward to having you back at the blog. Sending all positive energy!
Sit, stay, HEAL!
I hope all goes better than planned and you sail through – I know you will. Make sure you keep your e-collar on at all times so you don’t lick the incision
Best wishes
