This poor baby had dental surgery today. She had 8 teeth pulled, and the rest of them cleaned.
Because she was a rescue we don't know what her start in life was like.. but our guess is that it was fairly traumatic. I'm fairly sure she was kept in a tiny cage because she runs in tight circles when she's anxious or excited, and I think she was beaten and had little to no food.. so my guess is that her poor dental condition is due to malnutrition as a puppy.
She's doing well, and she's going to feel SO much better now.
We came home from the lake, and I noticed the dark violet color variety of #iris was in bloom. #hydrangeas are changing colors nicely. Kengo gave a side eye...
We got my husband off to the hospital at 4:15 this morning. Because he has skin cancer on his face that has stubbornly recurred after three removal efforts, today they are trying a different strategy. Hopefully, the mohs surgery is successful.
Summer decided to spend the rest of her very early morning in his chair. She has one of his sweatshirts to cuddle while she misses him.
Hope you got more sleep than we did.
Good morning, Mastodon. #Summer#Dog

Thank you. The surgery went well, and he is on his way home.
I got really good news from the CT scan I had yesterday. The lump in my lung is gone. I am feeling pretty lucky. My heart and lungs were completely issue free. Whew!
We almost lost Koda last week due to acute pancreatitis.
He's back home since Sunday and as active as always!
But he's taking a lot of medications, and he has to soon remove his spleen (w/ a golf ball sized tumour), and with his age the surgery is very risky, but needed 😢.
He's turning 15 this September.
I never posted this publically: I take a photo per day with Koda. I have more than 5000 daily Koda photos :D
@alfredbaudisch I'm not going to lie - yes they are, and they all are with the right families (which was also hard work - we had one family who visited 3 times - the third time they showed themselves for who they really were and we told them they couldn't have one) - they also all came out around 350g each - a very consistent little of 6 - couldn't have asked for a better first time I think. Was hard work though.
