Good News & Bad News

The bad news ~ we learned today that sweet Jim has intestinal lymphoma. He had been dropping weight pretty quickly with normal blood work, so today he saw our Internist for an ultrasound. Everything else on the inside is ok, so he's starting a drug regime of medications designed to slow down the disease, and help him be more comfortable, maybe even gain a little weight. The good news ~ Melody is now fit enough to be spayed & have her mammary tumors removed! It will be sheduled in the coming month when we can closely watch her during her recovery. Look at the change in her face in the photo below ~ she's smiling now! I think she's finally found a place to call home!
