K-9 or Canine...that is the question

Pet Dogs...be they mechanical or flesh'n'bone and time are two things that every pet owner has to  contend with. Don't worry, this blog post is not going to be maudlin or traumatic, or even sad. I have no horrible news to impart.

I am just posting this because tomorrow my girl beagle Kara is going in for surgery to have a few polyps in her bladder removed. The vet surgeon says that it is very routine surgery and that dogs actually take to this type of surgery better than humans do. The incision is small, no larger than what it would be when she was spayed.

It just makes me realize that pet ownership comes with its good points and bad points. Even when your dog is a mechanical super computer like (The Doctor's, Romana's, Leela's and Sarah Jane Smith's dog) K-9 sometimes things still go wrong:

    -He could get laryngitis and have a completely different voice for a full season
    -He could stupidly chase a beach ball into the ocean for no apparent reason and get his insides       soaked
    -He could have to stay inside because the ground is slightly uneven and he cannot maneuver it

or he could just get rusty and being trapped in a century with primitive technology, he could have a lack of available working parts to fix himself up with.


That's all for now, I just wanted to share that thought, take care of your pets because they take care of you by providing you with love, companionship, friendship, laser beam snouts and answers to complex mathematical equations.

Oh, and this is Kara, she's just a regular girl that likes treats a bit too much, she hasn't helped defeat monsters or villains or evil despots but she sure is good for a cuddle.
