Thankful Thursday

Our Black Dog is doing so well. Seeing him get strong again has made us realize how much that spleen tumor had slowed him down, both physically and mentally, prior to surgery.

We took him to an oncologist this week. Her strong guess is that the first pathology report was absolutely correct in calling the tumor benign. However, given that the odds were only 1 in 10 of it being benign, everyone wants to have it tested once more. That's happening right now.

For now, we are assuming that it is benign. It's time to quit worrying quite so much. We are a very lucky pack to have more great quality time with our Black Dog.

I will let you know when we get that final word on the latest test. But we are already thankful.
