Cole has his surgery tomorrow. I just found out today that I got funding from both the animal cancer fund and another fund which can be used for any kind of pet care. Cole is having surgery for the mast cell tumour and to remove a couple of diseased teeth.

The tumour will be removed first, of course, then depending on how he's doing they'll remove the teeth. He is a bit older now - 14 and a bit - and during his pre-check my vet thought his grade 3 heart murmur was a little worse. I've tried to shave a few ounces off his weight in the meantime.

Good thoughts and prayers are really appreciated for my fluffy black boy.

Thank you.
