I'm really sorry to anyone who came looking for this blog last night and didn't find it.  Friday was kind of crazy. Remember, the dog I told you about from Tuesday; Ming-Ming the Shar-Pei with the girl problems?  Well, we had another dog come in to the clinic with the exact same problem.  Her name was Confetti and she was 13 years old; a mix of dogs kind of like me, but bigger.  She had pink goo coming from her girl parts just like Ming-Ming did.  Maybe it was that Confetti was so much older, but she acted a lot sicker than Ming-Ming did.  She could barely raise her head when she came in.
My parents went to work right away.  Father started testing the red syrup for signs that the infection had spread, Sweet Sally but the tubes in Confetti's arm, as mother prepared for surgery.  A few hours later, Confetti was being carried out of the no-awake-dogs-allowed room still fast asleep.  Vocal Vonnie also carried out the parts that mother had removed.  "It's looks like a sausage" was all that Brandon could say. A raucous chorus of "Ewwww" was all anyone else could say.

Confetti was slow to regain her feet and had to go the emergency clinic overnight.  She seemed like a sweet old lady, so I hope everything works out for her.  Between Ming-Ming, Bea and now Confetti I am officially glad that my parts were removed, although I do have to admit that the talk of sausage made my mouth water and my belly start to growl.


Note: last picture is of a normal dog uterus.
Above picture came from Confetti - it's so big because it's filled with pus!
