Day -2

It’s Sunday night and I’m wondering what the future holds for Ellie.  She is a 6 year old standard Dachshund who has been diagnosed with adnexal carcinoma in her right rear leg.  Through many meetings with her veterinarian oncologist, it has been determined and recommended that her best chance for long term survival is to have the leg amputated.  I’m bummed.  I’m mostly scared for her and the uncertain future that is ahead.  We go on Tuesday for the surgery.  And naturally… praying for the best.
