Tommy Thursday


Tom: I don't usually post on Thursdays but things are a little out of whack this week. Also, I was wondering whether I might ask for some encouraging woofs and purrs today? We are off to see Dr. C as my wound licking issue continues and it has been going on for too long already. If she feels there is need, Dr. C she would cut and remove whatever. I know I will be in very good hands but moral support always helps...

In the meantime, I have been, as always, full of beans. #1 still can't walk through the fields (uneven surfaces are the worst) but she is always up to playing ball in the garden.

Come on, #1, throw it! I'm ready!


Flying ears back at you!


And the occasional rest before starting again:


We'll update the post later to let you know what's going on.


#1 here. I am back home without my Tommy, and he won't be coming home until tomorrow morning as he has a kind of drain in the wound at the moment. When Dr. C opened him up, she discovered a fistula with a kind of tunnel filled with gunk leading towards his thoracic cage. She cleaned everything out and does not think it's malignant, but she is sending tissue off for analysis anyway. We will have the results at the end of next week. If you could please rev up the woofs and purrs in the meantime, we would be most grateful. I am picking him up at 9am tomorrow.

  8. I am sending lots of purrs Tommy's way! I do want to say, no wonder he was continuing to worry that wound so much - it must have been painful! Sometimes you just don't know what is happening under the surface of these wounds.

  16. Oh Tommy, I hope you come home soon feeling better. It sounds very icky and scary. It can be hard not to worry a sore and I know you've been trying. Maybe now that the whatever is drained out it won't bother you so much. Momma and I are both sending big hugs.

    Kisses,
    Dexter
