Our Jake...

So it has been a crazy week for us. Last Thursday Jake went to the Groomers..and to make a long story short a tumor was found growing between the pads of his paws on his right hind leg. I had to take Jake into the Vet as it was bleeding really bad. The Vet said the tumor needed to be removed and as he was checking Jake out he also discovered his lymph nodes were enlarged. So on Monday Jake went in for a simple removal of the tumor and biopsy of the lymph node..or so we thought. Jake's toe had to be amputated, poor dog and to make matters worse, yesterday after Jake got a bandage change he tore the new bandage off and ripped out all his stitches--while we were at work. I came home to find his paw wide open and down to the bones!! I had to rush him to the Clinic where they had to put him under to sew up his incision, again. Not a fun night!!! Now Jake is resting and leaving his 'owie" alone. We will know sometime next week if Jake does have Cancer and go from there.

Definately not a dull moment in our house these days!

I truly didn't know Jake had such dainty feet. What a shitty week, Lisa. Give him a big cuddle for me.
