Easter 2011

 We all had a wonderful Easter at my Mom and Dad's house...even though the kids are practically adults now, it's still fun to watch them get their Easter "goodies" from the Easter Bunny!
 Kara and Ben enjoying themselves...
 And Doggy Maggi had a great time too...
 Quite a table full of food that my Mom prepared...num!
 Opa with his grandsons William and Peter...
 Kara and Ben about to dive into the asparagus!
 Yummy honey baked turkey...and there was ham too!!
 Steamed asparagus...and there was fruit salad, garlic mashed potatoes which were inhaled, and waldorf salad.
And, of course, dessert from the Katella Bakery!!!  Yummy cake with fruit, whipped cream and nuts!!

Tomorrow, Miss Maggi dog has surgery to remove the eye that's giving her such trouble with glaucoma, terrible pressure, and a benign tumor.  We're sad, but needs to be done.  So glad she had a happy day around her family on Easter...we love our puppy dog!

Did they not offer a silicone prosthesis vice just removing the eye? Was it removed by the vet or a specialist? The animal opthalmologist that did Red's glaucoma surgery (typically they remove the eye or do the prosthesis once the vision is gone) did the prosthesis vice just removing the eye. Here's hoping all goes well for Maggi.

Bonnie,

I decided against a prosthesis since part of the socket was also going to be taken away due to the benign tumor; another prosthesis that would raise the area so the socket wouldn't sink in as much was offered, but decided against it. It was $500 and googled that sometimes there are problems with it, so didn't want a foreign object in her head just so she looks better to people. The dog doesn't care.
