She said that picture wasn't flattering

This is what she looked like just after the surgery...she claims it's all my fault! The stitches up closer to her head was for a fatty (non cancerous) tumor, and the set between her forelegs for a cancerous one. They had to take an inch of skin all the way around the cancerous one...she had a sort of chest lift pulling all the skin tight.

Thing is...I knew she'd have the fatty one removed some day, it was around for a long time and grew very slowly. When the day finally came, I was not ready for it at all! The surgery meant she's an old dog now because old dogs get cancer when their immune systems start to slow down. ...oh dog.

Her highness waiting for me to pack her favorite toys in the U-haul.

And she was okay with these and thought them more flattering? LOL! You did check with her, correct? She's going to be so happy with your new place I bet. It sounds like she's going to have a great yard.

Well...she said the sun one is nice, and she thinks the scar one makes her look all courageous and stuff.

I hope she likes the new place, it's got excellent hiking potential!
