Dante’s Having Surgery

Leigh-Ann wrote about it on her blog, so you can go look at the picture of the lump in Dante’s ear.  It looks like a little boil.  That’s apparently not the technical name of it, go figure.  It’s a canine cutaneous histiocytoma.  Mmm Mmm good.  Blech.  Anyway, so that means we have to get up in the wee hours of Thursday morning to take him in for surgery.  Hopefully, it’ll be quick and easy for him, and not overly expensive for us.  Although, he’s already at $139 for today’s visit, which included a vaccine and bloodwork for the surgery.  That’s why I never go to the doctor - it would just end up costing lots of money, right?

Because the Dante discussion is so incredibly appetizing, I wanted to tell you about my fabulous ice-cream from Cold Stone Creamery.  It’s espresso ice-cream with brownies and raspberries added in.  It’s quite delightful, and odd at the same time.  I think I like it better than the Cheesecake Fantasy I got last time, which still, is pretty darned fabulous.

1. Dogs are the lumpiest creatures in the world, I think. I don’t remember my childhood cats having problems (but then, I was a kid) but my dogs all need lumps and bumps and *things* removed from them. It always feels like ONE doggie issue gets resolved just in time for the next problem. Get rid of the bump, allergies appear. Get rid of the allergies, they go bald in a patch. Get rid of the bald patch and the bump reappears..  I think it’s a conspiracy.
