We just returned from the vet, where we learned that Dudley has a tumor on his ankle that needs to be removed. His surgery is scheduled for this coming Thursday. The good news is that tumors in young dogs like Dudley (who is 3 1/2) tend to be benign. We have already gotten his blood work back, and there is no evidence of liver or kidney disfunction, so the prognosis is good. My poor sweet pup.
*sigh*
In other family surgical news, Casey’s heart surgery has been postponed again (it was scheduled for this Monday), due to a minor infection that he has, and must take an antibiotic for. He is re-scheduled for the end of September.
We are coping by planning a get-away for the two of us (while Kenny has some quality spoiling from the grandparents!) this weekend. Stay tuned…
