On Tuesday our baby Rusty who is now blind from progressive retinal degeneration will be undergoing a surgery to remove his front left leg. Rusty was what I refer to as a dump dog. Someone dumped a litter of pups and he showed up in our yard. Needless to say he became our baby boy. We had no idea of the venture we would be taking. When he began to bump into things we went through three doctors before I would believe that his sight was failing and was unreversible. We have long past this challenge and he has done outstanding. You would not know that he could not see ass he is so so smart.

Now begins our new journey…. On Tuesday he will have his front left left removed due to a tumor that I am being told is non-operable. I have to be honest I am scared…. I know he is smart and they tell me will adjust and be back walking the next day.. But I have never been in this situation and am hoping for advise and guidance from someone. Please say prayers for Rusty and share any advise that you can. Thank you!
