| I know that this is slightly off topic in the Story telling of my Fizz, and I'm sure you who are reading these sections of the Life of Fizzle's, You will be now shouting at your computer's, telling me just get on with the story !!! But I would like to tell you that while doing this Blog, I have joined other various sites to get my Blog looked at, by lots of people. As this was the entire reason to start this was to help people who are going through hard time's with their pet's. One of these sites is a Rottweiler site and I wrote to them telling them about, Tip's For Dealing With the Amputation, which some of you may have already looked at. I had a few comments about the page on another Site, and most were question's or comments about how Fizz recovered, and what her life was like after the operation to remove her leg. These were all statements that I was expecting, and I am more than willing to go into any part of Fizz's life after Cancer. The one comment that I don't know if shocked is the right word, maybe surprised is a better word, was from this person who claimed that, My Vet must have forced the amputation, as they are Gung ho and just after money. But they also said that it was cruel to remove the leg as the cancer always spreads, and the dog is suffering with the removal of the limb, and it takes ages for the dog to recover. They also said that I should have thought, more of Fizz and less about myself, as the removal of the leg was not taking into account how my dog would feel. Firstly anyone who knows me know's I wouldn't let any animal suffer, and Fizz's pain was the most important part, of my dealing with her regarding the cancer. I don't mind people asking me question's but when people assume thing's without asking me it sort of takes me aback ? Those people who knew Fizz will know how well she coped with everything that life threw at her. This was why I wanted to write her Story from the beginning, so everyone who didn't know her in life, could appreciate why I fought so hard to keep her with me. I hope that you who read the previous 9 Parts of her Story, you will all start to be getting an understanding into how special Fizz was. I want to tell you no matter what this dog went through, she never ceased to surprise me, with her ability to accept every situation that life threw at her. Made everyone around her see what a truly incredible Dog that my Fizzle's was, those of you who didn't know her. I want you to know what she was a truly amazing spirit who touched people instantly and she should never be forgotten because she will never be replaced. She was a total individual and we will never see the likes of her again. I just hope that reading these Story Parts you will get a small sliver of what Fizz was like, and my biggest prayer is that I can do her the Justice, that her story deserves.

Ok back to the real reason why you are here to hear the Part 10 of Fizz's Story :) So we were there back in the Specialists Office and he has told us that the Surgery went well, and we could take her home, and she had to use her leg straight away !! ( Never liked that Specialist ) He's actually a brilliant man and absolutely amazing surgeon plus he loved my Fizzle's, though he would not know how much, until we went back for her 4 weeks Check up. Do you know I can't believe that dog didn't give me Stomach Ulcer's !! I'm back to feeling sick again and to be honest I don't know what to expect, when I walked into the room to see my Fizzly. I turn around and start following the nurse as she take's us into the room, where they had left Fizz to recover from the operation. There she is lying down in a bottom cage and as always, her eye's light up as she see's me and the lil tail start's wiggling. Well she looked like she had been in the war's, her leg was almost bandaged from top to bottom. Her front leg's had been shaved due to the fluid's and other Operation needs, and she still looked like she was woozy, from the anaesthetic. I walked over and opened the cage door, and I could see she was in a lot of pain, and to be honest I felt awful. Because I had opted for the major surgery, and it was also the more painful, as her leg had been virtually sawn in 2 and then bolted and Plated together. I knew that this had been the best option, and would be the best way to keep her mobile for life. Instead of maybe having to come back in 2 years time when the other operation with the Cables, would have worn away or snapped completely. Therefore meaning she would have had to have 2 operation's, instead of this one which the specialist felt would be guaranteed for life. All of these thing's I knew in my mind, but at this moment it didn't matter I felt like a complete monster, cos my Fat Lump is obviously in a hell of a lot of Pain !! I turned to the nurse and asked whether its Ok for her to come out, I bend down to her and as always she pushes her huge head into my hand, in that Purely Rottweiler Way :) I sit down next to her and she tries to nuzzle closer, squeaking as she moved her bandaged leg to get closer. I want people to realise that this dog had gone through enough Pain in her short 15 month's that it would have made any human Bitter and Twisted. I don't know if I had a hand in the way Fizz dealt with all her problems in Life, but I do know that if people had a ¼ of Fizz's courage and acceptance the world would be a much better place. This Puppy of mine just 15 month's old with this ability to deal with all things, and more than that still have the love inside to never change. This baby somehow managed to pull herself up so she was sitting up, and then she just lean't on me and started Purring. Fizz then closed her eye's and just sat there, totally content, just as if we were totally alone, just her and I sitting in our Garden just being us. At this moment I can still feel that dog as if she is sitting next to me, and I hope that I will never lose that feeling. We opened up our eye's and we were back in the specialists surgery and it was time for us to go home. One Problem remaining how do we get Fizzly Standing, and more importantly how do we get her in the car !! So I move to get up and of course Fatty does what Fatty does any time I try to get from one of our cuddle's !! She squashed me, I didn't even need to move she was a mind reader, if I thought Ok I have to get up ? this dog would lie on top of my lap and pin me down !! Only thing was, she was moving slower as she was still a lil under the anaesthetic, so this time I was quicker than her :) I manage to get up and she's still sitting and I look at the nurse and she just say's " Yes she can go ! " Fizz hears " GO " and she pulls herself up so she is standing, still a little bit wobbly and unsure, but yes she's STANDING !! The Nurse tries to help her making sure she is not going to fall, and then with me in front I put on her lead and say to Fizzly let's go home ? This brave puppy whose gone through so much starts walking and walking towards the door............ on her way home.
