WELL HERE GOES

What a terrible week I have had:  
It is the year anniversary of my Fathers death and also his birthday.  This Saturday we will be having a memorial service at the cemetery and then we will gather for lunch.  Mom is not holding it all together and that is understandable considering they were together over fifty years. 

Dexter one of our furry friends has been in the hospital since last Wednesday.  He fell off the bed an broke his front right leg in five different spots.  My poor baby.  We took him to our vet and then they told us to take him to Long Island Vet Specialist Hospital.  This place is incredible,  not only are the doctors great the place is better than my doctors office or any hospital I have been to.  They went over his blood work that had been done at our vet a few days prior to the accident and found some abnormalities and they wanted to do a sonogram and when they did they found nodules on his liver and spleen.  They took them out and did a biopsy on them and they turned out not to be cancerous.  That is good news.  So he broke his leg badly and had his middle opened for a biopsy then POW today when we thought all was well and they were going to set his leg we get a call that they found cancer in his leg.  We went there to speak to the doctors and they said the tumor was in the joints of his leg and it is what caused the leg to be brittle and break easy.  They said that it had not spread further and that amputation of his leg was the only option.  We thought that if the cancer was not throughout his body and he could survive this than taking his leg was the right thing to do.  We love our baby boy and hate to see him suffer and hopefully he will adjust well.  We are looking into a dog stroller to help him out a little and help him enjoy his walks outside with his sister.
