the vet called, YAY for that!

the news wasn’t perfect – mollie isn’t perfectly fine – but we are now hopefully optimistic.  they didn’t find any cancer cells, but there is the big liver mass in one lobe.  could just be a benign mass.  the vet is gonna contact an oncologist to see what the next step should be.  it sounds like the next step will be taking her to the U of I to get a CT scan, which would show more of what’s going on, plus if it would be OK to do surgery. and then, maybe surgery?

she’d have to spend the night there, at least for one night.  i wonder if they let relatives stay in the room with the dog, like we did with dad at the hospital.

i feel that they probably won’t.

and mollie is sleeping soundly on one of her two living room beds, oblivious to the angst that has been all around her.

shortie, too, sleeps soundly.  my goal for today was to SLEEP REALLY LATE, but at 7:30 shortie started making noise, so i took him outside.  a couple of fishermen floated past, and i’m sure they could see my cause i’m wearing my bright red fleece jammies.

i hung out with shortie for a while, and at least there wasn’t a fierce wind blowing, like last night at three a.m., plus it’s sunny and the day is looking up.

whew.

ok then,
