so it's cancer

Great!  Out of five dogs that we've had since we've been married, this is the fourth dog we've had who has cancer... great!


Digital Squamous Cell Carcinoma, I think that's what the doctor called it.  We found out yesterday after her toe was removed last week.  Here we thought she had just dislocated her toe.  So, as cancers go, this is a "good " one.  Supposedly it doesn't spread to organs and for the most part it should be contained to the toe that was removed.  Therefore, hopefully there won't be any spreading.  Needless to say, I HATE cancer.  



On a good note, I was trying to find something that would make her bandages less slippery ( she's a tripawd to begin with) so I went to Target and got a pair of 4T baby socks with rubber grippers on the bottom.  It is working great, and it was cheap... $1.25 for the pair!
 As always, she is taking this is stride....  What's that saying about ignorance is bliss?  Why do we as her human companions always have to carry the burden of "knowing"?   I wish I could live in that blissful ignorance too....
This one is just Jazz being Jazz...  Isn't she a cutie?
