anyway... i think he might have a bit of malamute in him because he is taller & his hair isn't as long as a 'regular' husky.
we have had him for 9 years & he has just turned 10. when i say this dog is amazing... i really truly truly mean it!! he went from being the most spoilt dog ever ~ then we had 2 babies & he got lower & lower down the 'baby' pole. he just went with the rolls... never complained, always polite & loving.
now the kids are 2 & 4, they are typical boys... pull his ears, try to climb him & of course i stop this when i see it but never once has he growled or snapped.
so i had some sort of insurance for him... but it was garbage!!! everytime i tried to claim something he wasn't wearing the right colored collar when the incident happened or it wasn't the right time of day...
i enrolled him in a banfield wellness plan... which i love!! it's aimed at preventing & you get a free dental a year. lennon went in for his dental & because of his age, he is considered senior, he has to have a chest x-ray before hand.
my husband, mike, found a lump on his shoulder... so when i took lennon in i mentioned it to the nurse. the dr rang me to say he advised to remove it as he was already going to be under & i agreed.
when i went to pick him up i spoke with the dr first who was great, i always have 10 million questions & he didn't hurry me along or edge towards the door. he said lets see what the results of the biopsy is & we'll go from there. when they brought lennon out i choked back the tears!! my dog was all floppy from the anaesthesia & they'd had to shave a large area (which always makes it look worse) & cut out the lump, he had lots of stitches & i just threw my arms round my poor baby who was dragging his back legs...
i got him home & the boys were so good, very gentle & kept telling me he has a boo boo. he wasn't himself, in some pain, whined a bit. i just gave him lots of loving & treats!
i was trying to prepare myself mentally if the biopsy result was bad... i couldn't imagine ever having to say goodbye to my darling dog.
he just stood there looking at me... out of sorts, ears out sideways...
friday came & i couldn't take it anymore, it was torture! i called the vets but not results so far...
i stupidly left my phone in the car... looked at it & of course i'd missed a call.... it was the vet telling me he had the results & that it was benign!! oh happy happy day!!! benign.
i wanted to drop to my knees!!! thank god!!! do back flips!! i felt 10 years younger just like that!!
