RIP Dixie 01/11/2001 - 01/06/2011

On Tuesday, Jan. 4th, Dixie was diagnosed with a tumor on/near her spleen.  She was scheduled to have an ultrasound Thursday morning to see if it was operable.  When I woke up that morning, she did not want to walk and I knew immediately something was wrong.  I dropped her off at the vet that morning and waited for them to call me.  The vet said he thought the tumor had ruptured and she was losing blood.  She would have to have a blood transfusion "if" the tumor was even operable.  We decided it was best not to put her through that.  I went to the vet that afternoon.  She was a great dog!
