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*

Well, WonTon is 8 years old, and this is the second case in two years. They didn't think it would come back again after the first time, but it did. Frankly I figure whatever they say doesn't really matter. I'll just keep checking him out now and then, he loves the attention anyways, and it's not like it's any more of a burden then petting him is. If it does come back, well, I don't know. I'll just keep trying to think that this isn't the case, and it's gone, but take precautions anyways.

I'll let him know then, that he has to tell all the Poodle Girls about how brave he was. He'll like that. :)
