My little Gina.....

Gina is my 7 y/o Rott who had her right front leg amputated a month ago, due to bone cancer. I have been posting updates on Gina on my Facebook page. Man is she doing great! I walked her into the vet at 10AM and picked her up at 5PM. Put the leash on her and she walked out. What if something so terrible would happen to me? I would spend the first 6 months feeling sorry for myself and then go into the blame game, and eventually I would decide to GET OVER IT! She is out in the backyard chasing her toys around and jumping around with her 2 sisters and 1 brother. She depends on me, but I LEARN from her. I took her to the Sober Club in Euclid last Sunday morning. There were 5 people there and they wanted me to bring Gina in for a few minutes. They all wanted to see how well she is doing. She walked in and paraded around getting all the hugs and petting she could. One of my friends said, "She's still got one more leg than you". She is always teaching me about ACCEPTANCE. Whatever is in front of me, I will do what she does, DEAL WITH IT. Boy, do I love that little girl. She is a therapy dog at Euclid Hospital, and she will be back at work soon! Time for a cup of coffee, see ya later. Bob
