[abcowboy]

I may have to hire a new cook Pauly, or take over the duties myself lol. I've been neglecting the Café side of this thread so I guess I better do something about that...

[abcowboy]

So further to my post above, I'll try not to preach "abstinence" here, but just talk about life in general...

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed a small lump on Hank's loin? Kind of on the side of his belly just where the hip joins, not sure if that is the loin or the flank? Anyway, it just kept growing and now it's the size of a tennis ball! He isn't bothered by it, doesn't lick it, and when I examine it he doesn't seem to feel any pain. At any rate, we took him to the vet yesterday and he took a cell sample with a syringe and sent it away. We should know the results tomorrow or Monday.

The waiting and wondering is tough for Bubba and me because Hank is like family to us, a grandchild replacement sort of lol. Amazing how much love we can feel for an animal and how that love is returned 10 fold. Got my fingers crossed and pray each day that it turns out to be just a "fatty growth" as the vet explained. Sure glad I'm not drinking through this, I'd be a basket case for sure!

Praying for you guys cowboy! Hopefully it will nothing, but boy do I get the waiting and the wondering. We love our little fur babies. A friend of mine lost her beloved dog on Monday. While she was not the healthiest it happen quickly(she was ten)She is heartbroken and we cried together. Gave my little Lucy extra loving since then. How old is Hank?
Keep us posted?

Hope it turns out to be nothing Cowboy, hoping for the best

Tgif! Another darn good day not to drink!

[abcowboy]

Thanks for the well wishes everyone, and your professional reassurance kuya! Hopefully we'll find out today rather than have to wait the weekend. The test was $150, but money well spent to have peace of mind, and besides, that was just one week of beer money not all that long ago!

I forgot to say that Hank will be 7 on the 7th Liz.

[paulywogg]

6:49 am in Vegas another 24 hours of actually liking myself please

[lloydlady]

6:30pm in Sask, going to Edmonton for the weekend to do Christmas shopping yayyy! Count me in for another AF 24 hours. Sure hope Hank is okay ABC

[abcowboy]

Missed you on the x-post LL, tell Joe to limit you to one credit card eh! lol But enjoy your weekend in the bright lights!

Got the results today on Hank's growth, you were right kuya, turned out to be a "fatty tissue lipoma" so we're supposed to keep an eye on it to see if it keeps growing. The vet (he) said that if it grows to where it's affecting Hank's movements we should maybe think about having it removed, but he also said that in a lot of cases they just grow back. Great news for the day anyway!

It's an exceptional day not to drink!
