[Blindtlk] next week surgery

[Larry Wayland]

My son and his wife has a German Sheppard that had a cancerous tumor on her
front left leg.  She is not a service dog, just a pet.  Test showed the
tumor to be malignant and the leg had to be removed.  The good news is that
the dog is doing great and doesn't even act like she misses the leg.  She is
a very happy dog and there is no sign of cancer anywhere else in her body.
I hope everything turns out ok.

Hi, all,
I decided to go ahead and schedule the surgery for Odie next Friday since my
mom is going to help me pay off the balance that is remaining.
That ugly mass tumor is coming off and both Odie and I want it gone from
him.
Speaking of tumors and cancerous conditions, I just learned on another guide
dog related list I'm on that a seeing eye grad's german shepher has a mass
tumor as well.
Sad part on this is that her dog is almost around four years old maybe.
I do hope that there will be more research on how, what and why dogs that
are even just as yung end up with cancer so quickly and easily.
Despite all what he's going through, Odie is still happy, enjoys me giving
him massages and we also did his bath today.
At first, he was very apprehensive on wanting to climb into the bath tub
which I could understand why, given he has fallen down in the but a couple
of times.
Thankfully, we didn't have tyat type of incident this morning as there was a
rubber mat suctioned down on the floor of the tub.
I also bought a hair catcher to catch his hair which I had to empty it three
times.
It didn't matter as I did it all for Odie and he earned it all.
Next part is to find out the blood test, get help filling out the Harleys
Hope application so the funds will be there.
Bibi and MAR son Odie
who says that even if he has the mass tumor that is cancerous, he still is
enjoying every part of life and minute going everywhere with mommy as we
love each other _______________________________________________
