Arrival Story: Woof! I just was adopted into this family in November 2005. I'm new to my family, and I love them so very much!
Mom had been looking for "the perfect Lab" for a few years now. She had kept coming back to a particular breeder far away from where she lives. I became available, as my old mom was decreasing her breeding stock. My new Mom called to find out all about me. After filling out a big application, and getting approved, I got to fly to my new home!!! I'm so in love with my new Mom and Dad. They love me so much too. We're a perfect match!
Bio: Rosie is the "perfect" Labrador Retriever. From the time she got off the plane, she's been a dream come true. She has the most calm, loving, personality. She was totally accepting of us, from the moment we touched her. She doesnt have a mean bone in her body. We can do anything with her, and she doesnt seem to mind at all. She is totally calm and comfortable with everyone. She is very obedient, and listens with a gleam in her eyes. She loves being groomed, and having her toe nails cut. She just lays there and closes her eyes!! Even her trip to the vet, was uneventful. She just sat there, and let him do a total exam. When we're sitting down, she comes up to us, and lays her head on our lap,,,,looking soulfully at us.. Gosh, I wish I knew what she was thinking! I love her so much! She makes my heart HAPPY!!!
Forums Motto: Velcro!! did you call me VELCRO????

I didn't want to write about this until all the surgery was done, and we got the Pathology report on the actual tumor.
It was about a month ago, that mommy noticed a growth between my toes on my front left paw. They took me immediately to the vet. After an aspiration, and sending it to pathology, it came back as a Mast Cell Tumor. BAD news! The vet put me on Benadryl, and Prednisone, in hopes of shrinking the tumor before surgery. She then did an ultrasound guided biopsy of my lymph nodes, spleen and liver. All those came back clear, thank goodness!! Then the surgery was scheduled. An amputation of my two toes would have been drastic, since I need them for balance. The surgeon decided to take the webbing and part of my pad. We were hoping that would be enough so that there would be clear margins. You never know with those Mast Cell tumors though. They can be very deceiving!
I'm 6 days post op now, and my tumor pathology report came back, with all margins clear!!! My parents are estatic, and I'm one happy girl! Now my red, swollen foot just needs to heal......
Wagging my tail again!!! Rosie
