Yes thank you nc.girl! She fell down the stairs and dislocated her hip ... she's a 12 year old golden and because of her age and some nerve damage it was literally touch and go as to whether they could operate or not. "Not" meaning... you know.

It was so horribly stressful... I initially wandered around the stores just to get out of the hot hot vet clinic (it was 100+ degrees in Toronto yesterday!) and I ended up seeing the ippolita counter (didn't know there was one in Canada) just after finding out that she was okay'd for surgery (yay!)... didn't put up much of a fight, I was in a bit of a stupor from crying all morning and so relieved! She's out of surgery now and doing great - will get her home on Sunday.
