Cancer, Surgery, Floods, 2 Doods, 2 DSs and 2 Girlfriends

[Linda and Murphy]

It's been an interesting week, to say the least. Murphy's biopsy came back positive for melanoma, confirmed by the vet school, and he will have radiation in the near future. He had surgery to remove what I hope is a hemangioma on his ankle Wednesday. We are waiting on those results.I am having trouble with him chewing the sutures out. Any suggestions appreciated.



The DSs and girlfriends flew in on Friday. By Saturday morning, we were flooded in with the water rising. (Quite a shock for girls from west Texas and Arkansas)  Fortunately they were dog people. Finn thought these were the best days of his WHOLE life!  Surprisingly, he charmed everyone.and was pretty adorable, I have to admit. He fell in the water and scared himself...but he did swim. Murphy thought that meant it was okay to swim so he jumped in....but not to rescue Finn. We all survived the weekend and the girlfriends were wonderful.

 

Today, I took Finn to Petsmart for the first time (need to work on that socialization). A lady came up to me and asked if he was a Goldendoodle. She said Finn looked just like her 6 month old Goldendoodle. (YAY!!)

Just reading this today. Hoping for the best for big Murph. He sounds like such a love. Glad Finn is fitting right in.

[Linda and Murphy]

Thanks for all the support everyone.

I came home from work and Murphy had removed both socks, stretch tape and nonstick gauze...along with about 3 more sutures.  I added a few more butterflies, some super glue, and will call the vet in the morning.
