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 :)
