Grizz, doing what he does best…
About 3 weeks ago, this dumbass got dragged to the vet for some excessive liquid discharge from the aft blowhole. In the course of getting a work up, the doc found what we thought was a mass on her left kidney. The x-ray looked pretty damning. We were bracing for the worst. A week ago, I took her downstate to a specialist and his ultrasound and work up came back different - the left kidney was enlarged but he couldn't find a right kidney. Obviously, that was troubling as we were thinking that we'd be in for a nephrectomy - which can only happen when there are two kidneys, for obvious reasons.
Yesterday, I took her down to Pontiac to hit another specialist who would have performed the surgery if necessary. 4 hours down, 6 hours waiting and 4 hours back. Turns out she doesn't have cancer, just born with one kidney which has enlarged to do the duty of 2. So I'm out $5K for a dog that's fine, just has some #@)(*%* up guts.On the plus side, I got serenaded by either a church group or a business lunch when 6 lovely ladies broke out into "Thank you for being a friend." So that was nice.

We've had Timber for a couple months now. He's a cavalier/cavachon mix. The kids love having their first dog. My wife and I love him too, but forgot how annoying puppies can be at times 
. He's a handsome little guy though!
