Oh my God, I'm so sorry to hear this, Sheila. I pray everything goes well with your boy so he doesn't need the surgery. The amount of love you have for your pups just shines crystal clear through your words and I couldn't imagine dealing with something like that while you're mourning Kia.
I know it would be very hard for me after how heartbroken I was (and still am) about my girl Minnie dying.
