Pug 'o War

It's crazy how much he has grown! You can also see the scar on his back from where his tumor was removed. It looks bad, but like I said in a previous post, he acts like nothing ever happened!

Sheldon update



It's been a while since I've posted anything, but that's mostly because nothing new has been happening. However, this was a big week for Sheldon. In addition to losing his manhood on Monday, the vet also had to remove an ugly tumor that had been growing on his back. Back when my mom noticed it at Christmas, it was just a tiny bump and everyone assumed it was a mole. However, it just grew and grew, puffing up and turning pinkish-purple. At the time it was removed I think its diameter was about the size of a dime. Brittany just got the test results back today, and fortunately it was benign.

For now, Sheldy is sporting a big bald spot on his back and a long "zipper". Don't worry about him, though. On Monday, after Brittany brought him home from the vet and the anesthesia wore off, he was chasing Ruby and Dora and jumping up on the furniture like nothing ever happened. He's so wild that we have to keep him separate from Ruby and Dora during the day. We're worried that he'll get so fiesty that one of them will bite him on his back.

Playing telephone

The bananas at Tom Thumb are imported from Honduras. Brittany pretends to use them as a primitive communications device to dial up Trey. The smile on her face didn't last long; the call could not be completed as dialed.
