Speck is doing great since his little lumps were removed.  I gave him a pain pill the first night but haven’t given him anything since.  He’s doing his normal running and jumping.  Tonight I was in the sewing room putting up fabric and Vince brought him over to me.  Vince said he was sitting on [...]

My Sweet Dog

January 13, 2012

It’s been a rough day for Speck and for Speck’s mom.  He had some lumps — one on his neck  (if you enlarge the photo you might be able to see it above his leg there — I’m not looking); one on his chest kinda between his front legs and one near his “privates”.  We [...]

My Quilting Buddy Is Back

September 8, 2011

Speck is so much better today.  Whether it was the laser treatment yesterday or some of the soreness from Tuesday’s injury has dissipated, I do not know but I’m so happy he’s better.  I was able to pick him up this morning without him squealing in pain if I touched his leg/shoulder and if you [...]
