:omg: Last night I was at the Emergency Vets office and found out my dog needs surgery on her knee (ACL). While taking her xrays they noticed she has a stone of some sort. They can't be sure if it would desolve unless they find out what kind of stone it is. I need to bring a sample of her urine in the morning of her regular vet visit to see for sure if surgery is required. Last year at Thanksgiving time she had surgery on her other knee. I guess her body choses holidays to break down. Last year, Nov. 10th is when I had my band put in and then she had surgery on top of that. Now this year, thank God, I am maintaining, since July 2006 (-115), but today was my day to quit smoking. It is now 655pm and I haven't had a cigarette yet and I am doing pretty well but I am so worried about my dog because she looks so depressed. If I go nutso, I will grab the cigarette before I grab the food, that is for sure. I am stressing really bad right now. It is xmas and all my family is out of town and I only have my husband here. I tell you, there is nothing like a mothers comfort.

I hope everyone had a beautiful holiday and the happiest of New Years to come.

Will maintenance be a success? I am terrified of that.

Josephine, I hope your dog is going to be okay. I too am trying to stop smoking. Good luck.

Sorry about your dog. How old is she?

so sorry to hear about your pup ... hope she gets better soon.
