Update On My Little Lili

Ignore the demon dog red-eye... she's lovely, really
Just to get you all back up to speed - Lili is my belated Christmas gift. She's a lovely little doxie girl that Mom had rescued from life as a breeding machine for me - she's Daisy Mae II's actual sister, and Mom was in the process of bringing her to me when the weather intervened (the State of Oregon was closed due to harsh weather).

Since then, Mom has been taking care of the girls for me until she can bring them over to my house (she's decided that Daisy is also my dog - the girls are lovely, but they're rebound puppies for her, not true heart dogs.)  In the meantime, she took Lili into the vet today to have her operation - you know, conversion to pet quality life, rather than serial motherhood. 

Well... turns out that Lili is following in the family footsteps.  When the vet got her open, she discovered that her uterus was not only very oddly shaped, it also had small lumps in it.  Yep.  Mini Hanks.  Fortunately, we think that they got everything, although it's being sent to the lab to have it checked out. 

I'm choosing to think of this as Lili just following in her mother's and grandmother's (heck, and great-grandmother's, for that matter) footsteps of having plumbing issues, but not letting it stop us.  At any rate, Lili is out of surgery, back awake and heading for home with Mom (and really annoyed by the cone of shame - sadly, she follows in her mother's footsteps there, too.  I always did hate wound care.)
