Good, I've been checking in to see how he is. He'll be so glad to get home tonight. Is his favorite Papa Carl around?

It is now afte 5:30 (barely!), so I will assume you are standing ontheir doorstep, demanding your Jack back!! Hope he is feeling okay!!

Jack is home! Yes, Carl is here - in fact he has himself and Jack "barricaded" in the family room so that the others can't bother him. Not that a gate would stop Pippi! I am not sure what I expected Jack to look like but not like this! I know I'm just being a big baby and once they heal he'll be fine but.....

Last night when I trimmed him I found another lump on his back a few inches from the tail. I asked the assistant to check it out with the doc and it was another lipoma - but very deep. So he had two big lump removals and 6 small ones. 3 of the smaller ones needed stitched. He looks terrible, Cuts and stitches and shaved spots every where. He "initiated" a new machine at the vets that makes it easier to remove the little ugly growths that he and man other terriers get.

Right now he is sleeping - he was hungry when he got hom so we had to feed him. I don't expect him to get sick - he seems to have a strong stomach. Probably from his years outside before we got him.

Poor Jack.

I hope he feels better soon. His fur will grown back in
no time. Sounds like Jack has an iron stomach if he can eat so soon
after his surgery.

I think he learned from me! When I had my gall bladder out a few years ago, they said I couldn't go home until I ate. I think my first words in recovery were, where's the food? (Not a fan of hospitals!)

Glad to hear Jack is home and doing well. Get some rest while you can, Buddy!! A day or two and those other pups aren't going to want to leave you alone anymore!

Next time you're scheduled for a Sword Fight with the Vet ...
ya gotta remember to take your own SWORD!

Check with Anvik --- Momma Glacier was going to look for some FurGrow Fertalizer.
