A hard decision today

[Teresa]

Well, after our morning apointment at the vet with Pitanga, we decided that the nodule she has in her ear has to come out, so next week is surgery week for my girl.

After a long conversation we decided that she will also be neutered. She has had these nodules before and after last heat there was a very suspicious looking nodule in one of her mammary glands. 

He love Pitanga to much to be risking her health for the joy of another litter. We had a litter planned for this summer, but that will be postponed until Romã is ready to step in as our breeding bitch.

For now we are just worried about Pitanga and hoping she will have a quick recovery from the surgery next week. Hopefully now there will be no more nodules and Pitanga will be able to get back to her normal life.

I'm sad about not having any more puppies from Pitanga, since I really like the outcome of the first litter, but I love her too much to be this worried with every heat she has. No litter can possibly worth more than my beautiful girl living a long healthy life.

Hope all goes well with Pitanga`s surgery
