Sibling Solidarity and an Update



We each tried to do something nice for Phantom while he is away.


I protected your loveseat and kept it warm for you, big bro.



And I let the Momster take away some of my furs for your face. (Yes, Ms. Wild Dingo, I too am blowing my coat.) Of course, I know nothing about that hole behind me.

The Momster here now - Phantom will be very grateful to both of you. For our readers, I have a preliminary report on the surgery. The lump has been removed and Phantom did well during surgery. The vet said that he believes he got good margins but that the tumor was a little deeper than he expected. It was almost encapsulated, but he found several trailers leading away from it. No further speculation was given on the type of tumor, but it will be sent to the pathology lab for examination. We could hear something this week, but the last time it was about a week. I am going to count on the longer wait so I don't get too anxious. Phantom will also be coming home with sparkly pearly whites as he got a cleaning while he was "out". He could possibly come home this afternoon depending on how he does.

We don't have the words to thank ALL of you for your continued support and prayers for Phantom. So many of you included him in your posts and we had so many new visitors wishing him well. We are trying to visit all of our new visitors as time allows. It is really comforting to have your such wonderful friends and furiends. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much.

Woos, the OP Pack and Mom

  9. Our mom is besides herself when we have a simple tooth cleaning -- so it's not hard to imagine how you must have been feeling while Phantom was having his surgery. We're glad he came through it OK -- and we're sending even more wirey love for a good report.

    We think ice cream and treats might be in order!!!

    Paws continue to be crossed!

    PeeS. My mom looked for the comfy cone, but the Petco here only carries up to a large and my neck is so fat that didn't fit. I needed an XL and that required online shopping.

  22. OMD I hope you have Phantom and his pearlies back home today. There's something very reassuring about having your loved ones at home, isn't there? Who can take better care of us than our families??? Paws crossed, breath held, and we're waiting with you. Yes, good idea to expect to hear back from the doctor later.

  37. There were many and many crossed paws over here in Michigan for Phantom during surgery. It is a furry good thing that the operation was good and that his toofies is all clean and shiny. That way he will be able to eat all of the wonderful treats that you, the momma, will bestow on him when he returns from the dog-tor.

    And I still don't believe you. your house is too clean. do woo vacuume the beasts daily? woo must.

    glad to hear all went well. we're still crossing paws over here though.

    hugs to your 3 pooches.
