It's a packed house today with both boys being home from school.  The benadryl seems to be helping and they are slowly feeling better as the day goes on.  Perhaps it was more allergy related? Either way,  they will have to come with me to get Maggie's stitches out.  I can't put this off any longer and it's already been rescheduled once.  Taking them will prove challenging but that challenge aside, it will bring Maggie's cancer scare to a close for the time being and some closure for the kids.  We just need to make sure we watch for more tumors going forward.  I'm already in need of a nap and it isn't even lunch time yet...  lol

There's a great deal I could say about today but let's just focus on positive things that came out of today.  The single biggest thing that came out of today was Maggie having surgery to remove a tumor from her leg. We were all very concerned because she's getting old and there are always risks with surgery.     Maggie did really well and was up and moving around so well that they ended up letting her come home earlier than planned.  The giant stitched up hole in her thigh doesn't seem to bother her in the least and it certainly isn't slowing her down any. The location of the tumor was in an area of looser skin so walking and running have no impact on the stitches.  She's on pain…

Our dog Maggie goes in to see the vet in about 30 minutes because she's got a growth on her leg. This thing on her leg is getting larger and it feels like a rock under her skin.  I know the rule of thumb is that if it's soft and squishy it's likely okay.  What she has on her leg is most definitely not soft or squishy. She does have one on her chest as well and that's more soft and squishy.  I want to do this without the boys because worrying about something like this is the last thing they need to carry around with them.  Please keep Maggie in your thoughts as I will get some idea of what we're possibly dealing with in the next hour or…
