my little man.


a bump came up on his leg about two weeks ago. it got bigger. we went to the doctor, $500 to remove it. there is no way we can afford it. 

another few days, it gets bigger.

another vet, watch it and take the antibiotic, if it gets bigger we will remove it.

it is hard - not a good sign. awkward place to operate - not a good sign. growing - not a good sign. on his leg - good sign. he is a baby - good sign. no other side effects - good sign.

my baby boy is having surgery on wednesday morning to remove hopefully just the bump, not his leg.

if this mass is cancerous i will go broke paying for his treatment. i cannot let him go. 



your moms love you little boy.



i never thought i would feel this way about a dog. i rush home every day to see him. call cait to see how his morning was, worry about his every move...and now this. 

all of the doctors have scared us, i hope they are wrong, i hope he is going to be alright with four legs and not three.

above everything else, i want him to have a full life, no matter what. and i will do whatever i have to do, to make that happen. 

tonight i hope that cait noticed it early enough. i hope that the antibiotic for the last week have done some good. i hope it is benign. i hope they are wrong. i hope she is right. i hope that he is too young to have what many think he does. i hope they can close his incision. 

too many emotions. one sweet face. two brown eyes wondering why all we do is cry and hold his 75 pound frame as tight as we can. 

i love him.

fight, handsome boy, fight - and we will fight for u.
