January 12, 2019: Tomorrow, Bonnie will be at week four in the pregnancy timeline. I will start adding egg and cottage cheese to her evening meal. I forgot to mention that Gracie turned eight years old on January 7th. I have retired her. Angus had his first surgery, but he needs the mass removed that will require a specialty hospital that is more expensive than local veterinary services. I have started a Go Fund Me page. I don’t know if I can raise the $3000.00 needed. When Lance had 22 inches of perforated intestine removed, the costs with local and specialty hospital exceeded $7,000.00. This really set me back as I am the sole income of my home. His tumor is so large that I had no trouble seeing it on the x-ray which to me says it needs to come out now. I can possibly have the money in April when Bonnie’s puppies go to their new homes. However, there are so many possible variables that could happen with whelping.
