This morning we were met by a pleasant surprise - there was Larry, tail wagging and ready for his walk. He is doing so well after surgery which is amazing after seeing the large mass that was removed. It weighed 2.25 pounds. He came thru surgery wonderfully and will spend some days recovering and then on to his foster home for recuperation. He will then be looking for his forever home so keep posted. He's a wonderful, calm, quiet, tail wagging, happy boy, just looking for love. Oh dear, is that a song. As you can see from the photos, he now has a drain in to take care of any built up fluids. That will remain for 4-5 days and then be removed. I didn't count the staples but, as you can see, he has many. Give him a couple weeks and they will be gone. Then the hair will cover that area, and he's be his handsome self again.
