Please take a minute to visit the blog and read about Lucy.

She came down from Canada to visit us in June. She was here to see Dr. Scott Humphries at West Chester Veterinary Medical Center. She had a very large tumor in her rear right leg that was starting to damage the muscle in the leg. It was determined that the leg would have to be removed.

Dr. Humphries performed the surgery and Lucy is now back in Canada doing just fine. Please pop on over to her blog and check out all the photos and details of the visit.
