Poor Poochie
Anyhow my sister called me that evening following her visit to the vet with muff-a-luff. The vet had said the lumps were not unusual in a dog of muffys age and that there was a cure. He said the condition was best described as - a moment on the lips a lifetime on the hips...
Yes the dog has love handles! So now the poor thing is on an enforced diet of dried food.
She also has a cataract in one eye, but luckily she doesn't drive often. The other issue is her arthritus. Muffy is 11 which is 77 in dog years so these things are to be expected. Thank god she is ok though cos we were really worried there for a while.
