My work buddy passed out at his post.
Thor is passed out, curled up on the couch. Probably because I let the woodstove go crazy and heat the house to about 90 degrees. Had to open the window. I was trying to cook a roast in the oven and put a bit too much wood in.
Canine Lymphoma
Sadie
Two weeks ago, I was petting the neck of Sadie, my dog of the past 7 years. I was scratching her chin when I felt something that was out of place. There was a lump on the left side of her throat. My heart skipped a beat and I inspected her further. There was also a lump on the other side as well. It felt like two golf balls in her throat.
My wife was away, for a job interview and I did not want to burden her with this discovery. So I did a bunch of internet research and came to the conclusion that this was her thyroid. I agonized over how to break the news to my wife. Sadie has been with us a long time and she was really the first dog we picked out together, from the humane society in our new house. Sadie had some fatty lumps show up a year or so ago and they never became much of anything so this came as quite a shock.
