Tale of a Sweet Greyhound...

Image
Hello it's Trevor, pawnouncing our "BARK OF THE MONTH" for April. This is a special story about a bond, between Renee B. and her sweet Greyhound, named Blanca. Her eyes are beautiful and we will be sharing a photo of her at the end. Congrats, to our "BARK OF THE MONTH" recipient, Blanca, an Italian Greyhound. The following, is that pawmazing story by Renee. BOL So, Blanca came to me from a lady in Nebraska. I had driven up to get Rocky, my other Greyhound, at the end of January. When Blanca was the appropriate age to be weaned, she came to Orlando. Blanca was flourishing and when she turned 4 months old, she somehow ingested a tiny wire (like the kind on a bread bag tie). Well, this wire somehow got lodged in her duodenum. Blanca wasn't eating much and was still so tiny. She had to have the wire surgically removed, at the same time, they had to do a partial duodenectomy. I was impressed by how STRONG Blanca is. VERY. Well, we made it to the 9 month mar

A Tale of Confessions...

Hello my fellow readers! Trevor here, with our monthly tale. This time folks, it's a serious one from the heart. Make that Brenda's, as she has been bending my golden ear. BOL As you know, Brenda had a craniotomy performed on September 8, 2008, to remove a right frontal lobe nonmalignant meningioma brain tumor. It has been said that brain surgery equals brain injury. In this case, an acquired brain injury. What that is folks, is something that happened as the brain was injured. After all, they did use a Midas drill on her head, to open the bone flap, so they could get to the tumor. It was fairly easy to get at, and they were able to remove it ALL, in one piece. While that was a relief, this journey was just beginning. Brenda felt that after she had this removed, that her life would go on, as if nothing had happened. That is far from the truth. This tale is all about confessions. Brenda thought it was high time, that you hear about some of the things she has gone through.
