Hi ya'll,

Squirt continues to do well with her maintenance of Lyso along with the lignans and melatonin. Her energy remains high, she rests well at night, and the hair on her right leg is finally coming in from the surgery last summer. A few weeks ago, I was brushing her while she lay on the bed and got to wondering if the Lyso had helped the hair on her "other" thigh....so I turned her over only to find the leg I was previously brushing WAS the "other" thigh! The hair over the shaved area has grown in so much, I didn't realize that was the leg that was operated on. She never did get the soft undercoat she usually does in the winter but she doesn't need it now for sure so I won't worry about that til this winter.

Speaking of worry....I'll share a little story with ya'll.

Mon. nite, I was rubbing Squirt's belly as we lay in bed and felt several lumps in her abdomen - about 5 total. That was about 10pm - by 11:30 I had diagnosed cancer - by 8am it had metastasized. This fine diagnostic work was accomplished while in the midst of multiple tears and hanging over the cliff of a full-blown panic attack. I called Dr. B Tues. morning and took her in to see him at 11:30. He gave her a thorough going over and found 3 lipomas - on her chest. He assured me they were nothing to worry about unless they started growing and interfered with her gait. Well, that's fine, I thought, then asked him about the lumps in her abdomen. He leaned over and whispered, "Those are her boobies." I thought he said, "poopies" and dropped my head on Squirt's chest and said, "You mean I have been up all night crying because you needed to use the bathroom?!" Dr. B said, "Not poopies, BOOBIES, you big boob!" LOL Squirt has lost nearly 2 lbs. since starting the Lyso and I can feel things I used to couldn't and I was feeling her mammary glands! I have been a fool many times in my life but was never so glad to be one as I was Tues.!

So, in spite of her over-anxious mom, Squirt is doing just fine!

Hugs,
Leslie and The Queen

Nooooo, Janis, not by a long shot!

too funny.....

BTW...lipomas (sometimes referred to as "fatty tumors") seem to be common w/terriers....my girls also got them when they hit their advanced years. they are nothing to worry about, unless they are in a spot that hinders mobility (like armpit, for instance).

glad to hear Squirt is doing well.
