Our Furbaby, Dex

Sorry for the long wait....quite a bit has been going on recently and has put a hold on my posting.  Dex had surgery last week.  He had a lump removed from his chest.  After picking Dex up from the vet after the surgery he came home, we fed him and he was hanging out at Evan's side for the 2 hours before E went to bed.   He didn't miss a beat!   The next day Dex was up and running about with his toy up and down the hallway.   Apparently he wasn't in much pain.   We were glad to see him bounce back so quickly.   On Thursday we got the pathology results on his lump and learned that it's a Mass Cell Tumor (cancer).  It is fairly common in the breed (among a few other dog breeds).   However, that did not make receiving the information any easier.   The Vet was pretty confident that she removed it all but told us to keep a watch out for any bumps or unusual growths and will test him in 6 months.  Hopefully Dex will not have any more serious health issues.  The poor dog has had his fair amount of health problems in the short 7 years that he's been living.   Keep Mr. Dexter in your thoughts and prayers!
