How is cancer in dogs diagnosed? Blood test?

 

[bruceha2000]

No tablet and very few breaks.

Tell the boss you need a tablet to make the restaurant menus.

But the other one is still on the path but because it's a private neighborhood, I think the people that own it have to do it rather than the town?

If it is a private neighborhood with common land, they should have an Association and they would be responsible.

He's so cute I can't be mad about the house smelling like wet dog

Especially since YOU made him a (BIG!) wet dog.

Good Morning Friends

Deb Wow, that came around real quick! Work IS my BYC time LOL. If I am not 'working' I am not in front of the computers

JB Sweet, so we get baby sheep pictures to compliment the baby bunny and baby quails; awesome

Michelle got everything crossed for a good outcome!

Love the bunnies Cap!

Kelsey Even though the circumstances are not the best, I hope you have a good time on the farm and if I do not catch up with you on Saturday, an awesome birthday!

Blooie safe travels and lots of good luck!

Lookie! How good does this look?

Sadly, looks like only two or three days of sunshine before we do it all again but I am going to make the most of it!! 91.5F predicted for today so that should help dry things out.

Even though it is Good Friday tomorrow, I am mowing the lawns while I have a chance!

The road south is now open so we might actually get our first mail for this week!

I guess it depends on what type of cancer it is.

BUT, I do get off on Sundays and Mondays this season

So when I come to Wyoming I’ll have to plan accordingly

 

[Blooie]

Home. Tired. Sore.

Ah okay. Well, I might call the association even though we don't technically live there lol cause it's a little ridiculous leaving that, don't you think? Or is it just me?

LOL true!! He needed a bath. He hasn't gotten one in forever and smelled bad but also with the skin infection and hot spots, he smelled worse and I'm sure it was itchy and uncomfortable. So maybe now he hopefully feels somewhat better. It's been too cold to bathe him.

Although I felt bad because I had to use the hose cause originally I had 2 milk gallons with warm water and a 5 gallon bucket filled but the milk containers obviously couldn't really get up underneath him so after I emptied those two gallons I had to use the hose. Which was practically ICE COLD.

Normally he is good with baths but today he kept trying to get away. He was mostly good and when I catch him he stands still briefly but he was way more fidgety! But I don't blame him at all. If someone was trying to spray me with ice cold water I would run away too!! Plus not having been bathed in a while so maybe forgetting manners and me spraying and sudsing his irritated skin. But he was good. And after I was done, I dumped the warm bucket on him. And towel dried. Then the towel wrap up and heat pad arrangement. And I gave him a muffin lol

I wanted him to have a positive experience cause at the end he was kinda scared/negative experience. He ran away and up onto the deck and refused to come down. At first I tried to spray him from where I was when he planted himself and wouldn't come down but soon realized that was cruel and he will never like a bath again so after a few seconds I decided to drop the hose. Still wasn't sure but did eventually come down. That's when I hugged him/petted him a while then dumped the warm water on him and let him run away again. Bath was done anywauy, no need to torture him further lol

I was gonna condition too but he hated it and it took FOREVER to get all the suds out so I decided not to further prolong his misery haha

But the whole bath I was sweet talking him and telling him I was almost done, etc. To keep him calm and when I dried him inside in addition to the delicious muffin, I made sure to say good boy a million times the whole time and be all excited and happy and make it fun so he doesn't totally hate bathes.

I think if it was summer he wouldn't mind but it's the first time we've used the hose all winter so it was still ice cold. Thankfully though it was warm and spring like out.

I did feel bad but I wanted to bathe him before we left.

Anyway, I also later decided to bathe the cat LOL and I did use the conditioner with her. I bathed her in the kitchen sink though with warm/hot water. Very deep big sink.

Ended up with an angry cat burrito/wet rat.

Wow!

I guess it depends on what type of cancer it is.

Idk. Bone or lungs maybe?

Hope you feel better soon Blooie. Hope the weather wasn't too horrible for driving.

It's hot and sunny here today. I need to do some jobs outside but it's too hot at the moment. I'd love a bit of your rain Teila (just a bit). We never get sustained/days of rain here (though Auckland is known for often having four seasons in one day).

Kelsey, our dog hates having a wash. She loves to swim, loves playing with the water squirting out of the hose, but to have to stand there and be rinsed off with it - TORTURE! Gator looks very cute all snuggled up there. I wouldn't dare wash our white cat. She'd shred me!
