.... Lesley especially deserves them. She was recently diagnosed with two masses that are cancerous. Fortunately, we caught it early. It hasn't spread, and is the kind that surgery can resolve. So after the initial mass removal and biopsy she went back in to have more tissue removed to make sure all potential damaged cells are out. She's a bit of a "franken' dog right now (the masses were on her elbow and on her upper left chest) with two 2.5 inch incisions and a sh*tload of staples. But in good houndlet form, she's not letting it get her down./QUOTE]

Best doggy wishes to Lesley, G. You are a wonderful guardian to your four-leggeds.
 
Great news! Zoey and Rhyn started physically playing together this morning, complete with reciprocal bows and much jawing. It's a wondrous thing to see. Piling on each other, rolling around together. It was so fun to see Rhyn sitting on Zoey's head at one point. Two weeks to the day of Rhyn coming to his furever home!

The Yoogi's bag looks like Walnut to me (from 2013). Mind you I'm already two Bellinis in, on an empty stomach and sitting outside in 30C sunshine. *but I'm pretty sure it's Walnut :smile:
I just got a call from the post office, SHE HAS ARRIVED!!! I will post it once I get hold of it so you can check your sight and confirm the verdict :)
I am so excited!!!
 
OMG!! She is perfect! It's exactly the colour that I was looking for ( and now holding this one I can confess to myself that I was not quite happy with the one I was watching online, as it was a tad darker than I wanted) but this one make my hear sing! No any sign of use at all! Corners are pristine and overall feeling is of a totally unused item!

My first reaction was buy the Yoogi's one. Why? Because it's a great price and because if you don't like it, you can return it. That's what is great about Yoogi's -- no hassle. If I didn't like it, I'd then try the new one. Yoogi's says the color is Lotus which I am not familiar with.

But as I type, I consider the fact that while they're both in the brown family but they are quite different. Lotus strikes me as a bit more summery or warm weather and with your Krim and Mallow, you may have the softer palette covered. The more caramel color will work nicely into the fall and winter and may serve better as a year round color.

And, it could be you're only considering the Yoogi's bag because it's a really great price.

So after all this typing, stay the course and get the one Symphony.
Thank you so much, Dear, for your advice, i'm so happy I followed! It was my first time with Yoogi's and I am absolutely happy how it worked out :)
 
Happy Dog Day! I'll be leaving the office early and am thinking Lesley and Harry deserve some treats! All you dog owners and lovers, give a treat or a wuzzle to a canine today!

And Lesley especially deserves them. She was recently diagnosed with two masses that are cancerous. Fortunately, we caught it early. It hasn't spread, and is the kind that surgery can resolve. So after the initial mass removal and biopsy she went back in to have more tissue removed to make sure all potential damaged cells are out. She's a bit of a "franken' dog right now (the masses were on her elbow and on her upper left chest) with two 2.5 inch incisions and a sh*tload of staples. But in good houndlet form, she's not letting it get her down.

The future is very promising except for one thing. The vet would like her to not spend too much time in the sun. But laying spread eagle getting rays is one of Lesley's favorite things to do! Nevertheless, I see a dog sun shirt, mineral sunscreen, and/or a timer in the Pork Chop's future!

Lots of healing vibes from me and Nickel! Glad to know that Lesley is recovering from her surgery. Did she ask the doctor if there would be scars?
 
Did she ask the doctor if there would be scars?
In the first surgery there were six incisions as six lumps were removed. They were small and there's no visible sign (other than hair growing back in as one was on her back). I can feel the scar tissue on her lower abdomen incisions but there's no visible evidence. In the second surgery where more tissue was removed from the two masses that were malignant, I expect scarring. There's not a lot of hair to cover the one on her chest. But her skin is darker so it may not show as much. As for the one on her elbow, I'm just not sure. Fur will grow back and cover it, or I would think so. But the elbow is a tough area. There's just not a lot of flesh and you have the joint.

It'll give her character. Because we go to the coast so much, I'll just say she got into it with a sea lion and you should see the sea lion.

I am back from the last of my summer travels. All together, I've been away six weeks since June, a long time to go without my favorite designer bags. The Argento BV pouch was the perfect clutch for the wedding I attended, I am so grateful to Diane for allowing me to put the grabs on the one in stock that day in Valley Fair.

Welcome home! We need a long lunch and a Carmel meet up to hear about your travels.....
