WOOHOO!!!
The Vet called...Gus's biopsy came back clean. No cancer!!
It was granulation tissue...could have been a reaction from the microchip (long ago)
or vaccines (6 months ago) or an injury (though I never noticed one).
Either way....WOOHOO!
Now hopefully the lumpy bumpy hole that's left will heal over well.

Gus runs for the cure
Gus was feeling so good after his "mass" removal this week that my husband thought we should really let him run the short sprint in Mutt Dog Derby on Saturday. We figured we could count it as running for the cure...even though he hasn't been diagnosed with anything...and we gave his winnings to the Humane Society instead of for cancer research...we are pretty loose with our labels I suppose.
Anyhow...Gus managed to win third place (though I think he could have done a bit better than he did) and we are proud of what a good boy he was.
Yay Gus! Dessa loves her trophy!

Gus has a lump
I found a small lump on Gus the Giant Schnauzer Sunday.
He is at the vet now having it removed...looks like there is a fair chance it's cancer....won't know til next week.
He also tested positive for Lyme...which isn't a huge surprise with the ginormous tick population here.
And he hurt his shoulder yesterday playing with the dogs and is currently limpy.
No Mutt Dog Derby for Gus this weekend :(
It's a fundraiser for the Greyhounds and Animal Shelter...he was our best chance.
Say a little doggy prayer for Gus that all goes well and that the tests come back okay....if you have time add in something about the vet bill not being too high :)

Record time adoption!
Joey came to us from the shelter on Saturday and on Thursday he found his "Way" home!!
It's such great news that I'm afraid it won't work out (I have to stop with the negative thinking)....the woman who adopted him is very nice and also has three little girls. She has reported back that Joey is doing well and has become her new shadow.
That's the fastest we've adopted a dog out.
Yay Joey!!
And yay for another dog that we can now help....looks like we are looking at a big chocolate lab or a heeler mix....
