Said it had grown into the muscle but she is pretty sure she got it all removed. He has some other "lumps" around his body but they have stayed small (less than a grape size) for a few years now. He tracks straighter without that big ol thing pushing on the inside of that one leg. ? Thanks for askin' Jake? I’ve got a fatty blob on my left side, had it for years, nothing to it, so when our previous Yorkie got a little blob on his tummy we took him in and were told the same thing nothing to it, with joe being so small he is always near my lap so I’m always feeling and petting him so if another little nobule shows up I’ll know, take care of the pooch.

We had a neighbour who had a basset/lab cross, picture a black lab with basset legs, happy and friendly but the funniest thing when running. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowrosefarm Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 The neighbor had a Basset hound when I was a teenager. He would lay in the middle of the neighborhood road in front of my house and would not move when a car came. You could yell at him, throw rocks, whatever, and never wake him up. I hate to say how many times I had to drag him off the road by his back legs so we could drive through. He was a young dog and when awake seemed perfectly normal........but once he fell asleep....... Come to think of it, that's probably how this picture got made. They just picked him up and put him in the flower pots.? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RN wife corrected my pea sized brain again. It was a lipoma not sarcoma. She mumbled something about there being one between my ears so thought I'd better look it up. ?           ? A lipoma is a term to describe a very common benign tumor of fat seen in middle-aged to older animals. These tumors can vary in terms of their rate of growth (some may remain the same size for years) but become problematic for your pet when they grow in locations that impact their ability to walk or cause discomfort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2nd German Shepherd had one about the size of a football on his belly when he got very old. Vet would not remove it because of his age so he had to endure it about 9 months. Here is a picture of my 3rd Shepherd who died about a year and a half ago at 12. Ole Max was very tall and weighed 110 lbs. He taught himself how to open the storm door in or out, and would do a "patrol" about every 30 minutes. Used to drive my wife crazy, but she never worried about being bothered by ner-do-wells when he was around. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is nice especially in the winter and when we are gone. I did this for him to make it easier to get a grip with his foot as he gets older.  Gus likes Cash to come in at night and has actually gone out, got him and let him in. They are definitely "bonded". 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowrosefarm Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 This was a mixed breed female we had for 12 years named EmmyLou. She was a great dog and a groundhog killing machine. I used to call her a live stuffed animal because she was so soft and loved to cuddle. We got her from the county pound at a little less than a year old. She was the last of a litter of 8 that had been turned in. No one wanted her because she was really unresponsive. Once we had her home, though, she really opened up. She always hated riding in the car which is about the only thing I would have changed about her. She died from kidney failure, which has very few symptoms until the very end. Took my wife almost 2 years to get over it enough to want another dog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got him at a year old and he had been kept in a kennel pen for that whole time. He was very distrustful and would lay on the floor about 10' away from my wife and I while we ate dinner. Then, after about 3 months when we were sitting on the couch watching TV, he just got up and jumped on the couch between us. I guess he figured we were OK after all. Unlike Emmy Lou, he lived to ride. I had a camper shell on my truck and would leave the tailgate down during the day when I was at work and he would sleep in there. He was never more than 4' from me at any time when we were together. He did a lot of damage to our house because of his extreme fear of thunder and gunshots, but he really tried to be a good dog in the ways he knew how. Picture is 15 years old, I'm a lot bigger and grayer now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowrosefarm Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 These are the sibling collie mix’s we have now. Shep and Elsie at 3 years old. Shep is the laziest dog I’ve ever had. He is the black and white. They both sleep on their backs with their legs stuck in the air. I wouldn’t change a thing about either one. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKS Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I have shared a few pictures of mine before. He is now my automated Covid test machine, when he is sitting this close and farts there is no doubt I can smell it . 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandhiller Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 LOL, when Gus was a pup he would carry around his Lion King stuffed animal, he wasn't quite as "huggy" as the Aussie? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
