10/19 Erde's home

Just got Erde back from the hospital.  She is in much better shape than I expected her to be after I spoke with the vet last night.  The nurses had one comment about her: she sure is a stoic dog.  Probably learned that from me.  The jury is still out on whether they got the complete tumor and how her recovery and ultimate normal functioning will go, but I am optimistic.  I am also relieved that this is over and confident I made the right decision to go through with this as opposed to radiation or not done anything at all. This dog has been such a sweetheart (despite  her rebellious nature) that I had not choiuce but to do it.  But I would have done it for any dog for whom I was his/her guardian.
