yes, i know the surgery isn't too bad
but i am worried about her recovery
she lives alone, 3.5 hours from here
and is a bit of a loner
she relies on her dog for companionship
but needs to kennel her, becuae she will be too hard to take care of
so she will REALLY be alone
she is also on a dirt road
in an area that has very severe weather
it could snow there and freeze up in november
so there is no place to walk to
the 6 week recovery will be tough
