Panda Penguin Crossbreeds

I have one dog at home right now, where normally there are two. I know this doesn't seem like much but MaiTai, the youngest of the two, is sulking, wandering around the house morosely (okay, that was 10 minutes ago, now she's just laying on the floor pining) trying to figure out where WonTon, her "older brother" has gone to.

This morning we loaded WonTon into the car, drove a half hour to the vet clinic, dropped him off, and here I am, waiting for a phone call from the office to tell me that his surgery is done, please come pick him up, he's all better, here's your bill.

WonTon, for the second time in under two years, is having cancer removed.

I have to have a talk with him and make sure he knows that if he wants attention he doesn't have to get cancer, he can just come nuzzle us a bit and we'll pet him, or scratch at the door and we'll let him out. It's a lot less of a pain in the butt way to get attention than getting cancer.

Bozo. *sigh*

He's kind of the "loveable goof" of the family. His nickname is "Dope," said in a loving manner, right before giving him some scratches or patting his head. I know he'll be okay, just like he was last time, but this time it's on his neck, and that's just kind of a weird area to be cutting around, so I'm a little more worried for him.

Thank you, I appreciate it. By tomorrow I'll be complaining how much taking care of him I have to do, and how I have to keep MaiTai from full on body-slamming him, but for today, I'm worried, and the rooting for him helps. :)
