Dixie and her Mommy :-)
 

Update: I Just hope I am in the correct forum. I simply could not remember if I posted previously on the general boards or here at "MY YORKIE'. Whatever the case, the likelihood is good that some of you will recognize me even after the long hiatus.

I went in for serious lung surgery on Sept 14th and if you all remember was having some major problems with my little adorable Yorkie, Dixie Cup for a few weeks prior to this date. I was EXTREMELY worried about her since I knew I had to have this surgery and did NOT want to kennel her--esp. with this horrid virus going around that is killing dogs. Aside from this, I wanted her in her own home so that my absence would not "throw" her completely. She, for seemingly no reason a human could come up with, began to get aggressive, vicious and dangerous at times. If you all remember, I took Dixie to a chiro who discovered that she had a twisted sternum and a pinched nerve from being dropped by a neighbor's drunk husband.

Fast forward to now. I have been home for two weeks and am doing well. My lung tumor was benign (a mini miracle according to the surgeon since I am fairly recently out of treatment for throat cancer)so this was great. Thank God for this wonderful, wonderful housekeeper I employ on occasion who stayed here 24/7 so that Dixie would have care and remained her for another 10 days to help me out. OMG, she was god sent and like the commercial--PRICELESS.

Dixie and I are both doing fine and Dixie is returning to the chiro on the 13th. She had one episode of that awful and dsgusting growling and viciousness since I have been home and I am now convinced that the maniacal ball playing she engages in (interactive with me) is either hurting her neck OR revving her up beyond a point from which she can return. She is a resource guarder to beging with (not good) and I have to be very, very careful of the things I give her. At any rate, we are both getting back in the groove now and she has calmed down tremendously since I have limited her ball playing drastically.

Ok, good to be back and hope to start returning here more often now. Be well, all of you, Susan and Dixie Cup

I remember quite well! I'm so glad you are doing well. Sounds like you are making great progress with little Dixie. She's a lucky girl to have you! :)

Oh WOW...I'm so glad you made it thru all this - Cancer AND a tumor ? You poor thing !! How are you feeling now ? You had some scary times and I hope your surgery was a total sucess....I remember you posting about Dixie...that poor baby being dropped - I;m just glad the Chiro found out what it was - she must have been in some major pain poor baby.

Good luck on your recovery - I hope you're getting stronger and better every day and congrats on getting your baby back - I hope she's feeling better too.

Yes I remember your previous post...I am so glad that all has worked out for you so well. I look forward to reading more of your posts ;)

I remember too, and was wondering how Dixie Cup was doing. Thanks for the update.

Glad to hear you both are doing better! :thumbup:

I am so glad your surgery went well and that you are home now. I am also glad that Dixie Cup is doing better. We were wondering how you were doing. So glad to hear from you.
Joy, Nikki and Chloe Rose :rose:

Thank you for letting us know you and Dixie are both better. It is wonderful to hear. And I'm so glad you have a housekeeper who is so good to stay with your little girl and to help you out. Not everyone is so lucky.
