James has been taking it easy since his surgery last Wednesday to remove a malignant (non-metastatic) tumor from his lower left jaw. He seems to be doing well and is happy. He continues on pain meds and antibiotics, and in true James form, he’s being a really good boy about the whole thing. He’s enjoying special indoors treatment with me while Trudi and Annie enjoy exploring outdoors. He does occasionally look out at them longingly… but I give him his favorite soft treat and he’s content. The vet will be checking on his progress in ten days.
Our Bright Spot friend Kevin will be stopping by to visit our hospice patient Mary with his two Golden Retrievers when they’re visiting with their assigned hospice patient. I’m sure Mary misses seeing James (she’s very aware when we miss a week). She’ll love a visit from Niles and Caber. They look like two small cuddly bears.
