Have you seen the movie "Marley and Me"? that is this week's poll question. That is the question because...... well we did.
David rented it for us this weekend. And if you've seen it you know I cried. A LOT!!
Marley died because her stomach fliped over inside her, it is called bloat. Big dogs get it, and we didn't want Winnie to get it and die from it so we had her stomach "tacked" to her rib cage.
At the end of the movie when they had to have Marley put to sleep it reminded me so much of Bailey. It was really hard to watch, but it made me appreciate Winnie and her surgery a lot more. I feel like we are more prepared this time.
Thanks to everyone who suggested the surgery ahead of time for prevention. Thanks especially to Steve (my brother in law) who explained it and really helped make the decision easy.
If you haven't seen the movie, it is good, and very well done. It is just hard to watch, espeically if you have a dog.
