Otis's Photos – Otis and Tess

Hello Tripawds!  Long time since we posted, so just wanted to say hi and give you an update on my family.  We moved in January 2020 – new job for me and a chance to live in a more rural area.  Gator lost 10 pounds just with the extra room to run.  He is now a svelte 110.  Enzo the cat came with me, while Sophia and Benny, a one year old cat, moved with my college student to Atlanta as official emotional support animals.   Princess passed last Fall – Sophia needs a great deal of daily care, but is still hanging in there.  Overall, life is good.

 

Gator, the cats and I just wanted to check in and say Hoppy New Year to all!

 

 

 

 

 

I have held off on washing this window – those are Otis’ and Tess’ nose prints.  It was their favorite place to look out.  Gator, for some reason, never looks out this window.  But, it’s window washing time.  😔  Some things really do not need to be saved.

This, by the way, was one of the first days Otis started acting ‘normal’ after his amputation.  I was so happy to see him taking an interest in his normal doggie duties.

Just got back from the vet, with one new lipoma (the size of a peach as per the vet) and a second lump on his muzzle that turned out to be an infection, likely from sticking his nose into places where small critters live.  Perhaps into small critters themselves.  I think you all know where my mind had been going – once a cancer dog mom, always a cancer dog mom.  So happy to walk out of the vet with my little bottle of antibiotics!
