Just in from the Animal Doctor...



Looks like our poor Drakey boy has cancer. Kyle suspected he might and it was confirmed today after an exam. Kyle removed the tumor and he could be just fine. If it has spread, well maybe he won't be. We'll know more in a few days.

I'll be the first to admit I'm not Drake's biggest fan, but he really is the best dog I could ask for. We bonded on all the many miles we've ran together. Even though he dashes in front of me and knocks me off my feet quite frequently, he makes me feel safe running alone in the desert in the wee hours of the morning. I hope he is okay.

jack- the tumor was on his chest. It was quite small, but kyle noticed it grew fast. Is bella still going strong?

So sorry to hear about this. I hope you don't lose him. As you know we went through that with Jadie just 2 years ago and to this day it is still hard. And now Sophie is missing and our hearts just ache! Give him lots of love!

That too bad I really hope he is ok. And I understand your feeling about Drake that kind of how I felt about Koda.
