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....

Welcome Joey!
The shelter is starting to fill up...which means room is running out and Joey has been there the longest. I've been admiring his sweet face in newspaper ads and just can't believe he hasn't found a home. Casey actually went to pick up a Blue Heeler mix today that the staff is a bit leery of...but he wasn't neutered so we took this little guy home instead.
If you notice his left ear is full of fluid. The shelter's vet did some sort of surgery on it?? And said it will remain bigger forever...but it's obviously full of fluid so we will take him to our vet on Tuesday and see what he has to say.
The dogs mobbed him (not the usual way we introduce a new pack member) but Joey didn't mind a bit. He even ignored crazy Tage.
His truck ride was hot so he was quick to make himself at home in the creek.
Look at that cute little tongue.
He seemed to fit right in and Dessa was please to get her turn at his leash.
He is about 2yrs old, neutered and current on all shots.

That's all I have right now--I'll keep you updated but I think he's going to make someone pretty lucky. He seems pretty sweet and laid back.

Sammy found his "Way Home"
Woohoo!!
After half a year at out house and absolutely no inquiries until 2 weeks ago Sammy has finally been adopted!
He went to meet his new family this past weekend and my husband said he took to his new mom/owner right away. I try not to every be there for the changing of homes because I tend to want to cry.
The woman who adopted him seems very nice and patient and is willing to give him time to warm up. He will be living on a goat farm in the country and is expected to help out around the farm, keeping away pests and trouble. It is a dream home for Sammy and fairly similar to his life here so it should be a smooth transition.
I have report that he's doing well and it looks like their other little adopted terrier and him will be good friends. Other than the ducks trying to steal his food....life is looking pretty good.
Yay!
Whenever I think we'll have a dog forever I'm reminded that there is always the right home out there somewhere.

Sammy still needs a home
Sammy, who was also at one time known as Frisco still needs a home of his own.
He has been here since last fall and up until this week no one has even asked about him.
He is still very shy but will love you with all of his heart once he realizes you'll take care of him. He is an EASY dog to keep. I have hardly ever heard him bark and most the time don't even know he's here...he just blends into the background.
