Happy Halloween!!!

Well, as you can tell we have been busy tonight! We carved our pumpkins and I think we did a pretty good job (not to have used a carving kit). Cadillac had his own although I really don't think he cared. Well Happy Halloween everyone!

Good News!!!

Cadillac's tumor was benign! We just got the news today. It was a trichoepithelioma! These are formed around the face in most cases and are filled with keratin. They can come in multiples (his did not) or single. He may or may not have another one in his life and there is nothing we can do to help prevent the tumor from coming back. Hopefully this was the first and last. His wound looks very good and we go tomorrow to have the stitches taken out. No more of that cone around his head! We are sooo relieved! Hope all is well with everyone.

Frankenstein?!?!

Although he felt bad after surgery, he still waited on his Daddy to get home.


SOOO. We have our own Frankenstein! Poor guy. He is pitiful. They got the tumor out and it will take 5 days to get back the results. They said it had tentacles on it and they had never seen one quite like it. I am so worried and waiting 5 days is going to be hard.
He did ok with the surgery but they told us he has "only child syndrome" and that we need to work on that! He deserves to be spoiled right now so they can just forget that!
Well his incision is almost 4 inches long... Pete said he will get all of the girls now because "chicks dig scars". Well I will update you as soon as I know something!

HAPPY FALL!

Hello everyone! Well it's my favorite time of year and I am loving it! I went camping with my best friend Heather at Norris Dam State Park and had a blast. A few more friends were there as well. I love this time of year. I went camping on Friday night and Pete left on Saturday to go on a hunting trip in Mississippi and will be gone until Wednesday. I left a good luck charm for him under his pillow on Friday which was a watch that is ideal for hunting (compass, etc). He had been wanting one for a while. Well... Just as I had thought I had outdone him, I get home from camping and there is a beautiful arrangement of fall flowers on my doorstep from him (in pic). He always does well! As I was going to bed last night I lifted my pillow and found a card! He was on his "A" game! For those of you that don't know... Pete is an over achiever and has done things like these since day one. I have to admit, I have a good one.
I start my new job tomorrow and I am very excited. It is going to be a crazy week though. We found a bump on Cadillac's head that would not go away so I took him to the vet. It could either be a mast cell tumor or some sort of cyst. If they tried to aspirate it to send fluid off and it were a mast cell tumor it would release histamines and cause him to go into anaphylactic shock. Therefore, we are NOT taking our chances... He has to have it removed on Thursday so keep our little man in your prayers! I know he is a dog, but he is our child! I will update you this week on how it went! I hope everyone has a great week.
