Velvet and Brandi
(and Hank and Hugo too)

"If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you;
that is the principal difference between a dog and a man."
Mark Twain

NEWS!
!!! Velvet is home !!!

Velvet had been diagnosed with "Bilateral Cruciate Disease"
and underwent "Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy" (TPLO) surgery on Friday, March 30th, 2007
for her right leg and on Thursday, September 27th, 2007 for her left
at Inver Grove Heights Animal Hospital .
That was one tough year for my dear Velvet. (...and on her sister Brandi too.)
You know me, I was a MESS!
Velvet's been bouncing like Tigger from Winnie the Pooh ever since!
She's been out to get every bit of use from those legs she can.
