Today is an Important Vet Day for SmokeMutt ...
We're going back to see Doc B for a re-X-ray of Smoke's Bum Knee.

A month ago Doc B said it "looked like a black hole" = not good.
If it has "changed" in any way; that's really BAD news -
indicating a probable tumor.
NO Change is 'better bad news' = indicating the knee is just
"all screwed up mechanically" (but probably not 'fixable').

I talked to Doc Mike yesterday when I dropped in to buy MiniMutt her
heartworm chewies ... Dr. Mike said the 'next step up' after his friends
at the Crago Clinic is a large practice in Akron/Canton - an hour west of
here. We'll get a referral to them if there's bad news from today's X-ray.
After Akron/Canton, the next step is Ohio State's College of Vet Medicine.

But if you ask Smokey >>>
"Nuffin's wrong - I'z jest *PHINE*! - No Worries!"

And if you'd seen him running like a deer at the Dawg Park, or doing
paw-springs to touch the back of my neck or ear on the way out -
you'd wonder what this phuss is all about.

Sadly, it IS a real problem, and now the lil Prayer Pup, and his Dad,
could really use some of those PT Prayers.

And a lil Prayer for MiniMutt would be appreciated, too.
She goes in with Smokey today to see HER Doc - this 'might be' her
Bandage OFF day when we see the New Paw for the first time.

Wish us Luck, please.
THANKS, Gang!!
