Arrival Story:
I wandered onto the farm when I was about 8 weeks old according to the vet's best estimate. I was puny and thirsty when my daddy spied me drinking from the condensation formed by the air conditioner. He immediately gave me some water in a bowl. Then, Mama gave me some hot dogs (because they didn't have any Now Grain Free Senior Weight Management dog food back then). From then on, I was the self-appointed guardian of the porch, yard and goats.
Bio:
I was diagnosed with autoimmune hemolytic anemia, a very serious illness, the summer of 2007. So far under my vet's care and with a prescription of prednisone, my red blood cell count has risen from 20 to 50, (then back down to a normal 40 most recently) and I'm feeling much better.

I'm twelve now- so maybe it's understandable that I somehow deleted all my photo captions. Oops. I should have known my paws were too big to manage pics on the iPawd.
Anyway, Mama ordered a cake from Bubba Rose Biscuit Company. Pics to follow if my mama can manage it. Still on meds for the IMHA. Still no sign of bad lumps returning. So farm life is still pretty good for a mature canine. Carpe (bark) diem, pups-seize the (bark)day.

Good news and bad news. Good news is it was NOT hemangiosarcoma- which would have been a BIT more grim than the hemangiopericytoma that WAS, in fact, removed- at least we think/ hope. Bad news is Mama has bad hearing/ poor spelling skills when it comes to technical cancer terms/ complete neurosis when it comes to my health/ is, to quote Dr. Gregory House, "a moron." It is supposedly a low histologic grade/ stage in any case, and does not usually metastasize like the aforesaid hemangiosarcoma. Yes, thanks for the prayers/ thoughts for my health- but you may want to make my mama's sanity your main focus for concern- just sayin'. She will continue to worry and monitor, as ever, no doubt. (She is very sorry for any excessive worry caused to our fellow furiends and our hearts go out to those who endure/ have endured more serious malignancies in more worrisome anatomical locations).

Petunia's mama here. Just got off the phone with her general vet who cursorily reviewed her pathology results showing "hemangiosarcoma." They "think" they got it all, and we will have to monitor very closely. He said, it is not likely to recur- but I am having a difficult time diverting my focus from the aforementioned big scary word. She returns to the vet office to have incision inspected/ stitches removed, and will learn more then. My initial gut reaction tells me I will probably need to get a referral to an oncology specialist- but we will see. I don't want to upset Petunia with this news so I'm not reading this to her. Pawsitive thoughts/ prayers continue to be appreciated.
