    Well, got a phone call from the vet, and it wasn't good news.

    I'm going to have to go talk to them Tuesday.

    What a week.

    I intended to get to the Vet's office Tuesday, but it's been insane. I'm going to get there today or Friday, I'll update then.

    Thank you for the prayers and thoughts.

    Well, the radiology report is indicative of cancer, we're going to wait until mid june to do another xray to see how fast it's spreading.

    Because of the type of cancer indicated by the radiologist, there's not much we can do except keep her pain free for as long as possible, which right now isn't an issue. (Right Patch? How's that wall feel?)

    So sorry to hear of Lady's diagnosis. Hopefully it's very slow growing and she will be able to be around for a long time to come. Prayers going out to Lady and crew from us here in DE.

    BTW - how old is Lady?

    I'm sorry to hear about Lady's health problem. I hope she can be happy and comfy for a long time. I know you'll do all you can to help her. It's so sad and upsetting to hear bad news about our beloved pets.

    Well, we went back for another visit to the whitecoats today.

    Lady is doing okay for an elderly pup with cancer. She's getting cataracts, which isn't a surprise to me, and we evidently have to cut back a bit on the treats, as she's gaining weight.

    We suffered the indignity of having toenails trimmed as well.


    On a happier note, we met 2 dogs from the Broome County animal shelter who were in for their pre going home checkups! One they both looked like (shapewise) 1/3 scale rotties with absolutely cotton soft fur. One was a gorgeous buckskin tan, the other was black with white chest markings. Lady was very sociable with them, and while they were puppy rambunctious, they were both very well behaved. Lady even let me scritch the ears of the pups, though I did get a rather indignant interrogation when we got home. I hope they do well in their new homes, they were both certainly good deserving dogs.

    Good to hear she is doing pretty well despite the cancer, and survived the indignity of the toenail trim!

    Must have been fun seeing those pups, and knowing they were on their way to new homes!
