.... so does Grammy. The last three days he just hasn't seemed himself. Last night he wasn't interested in his supper. A BIG red flag! I took him to the vet today and he felt a mass in the spleen area . XRays showed a tumor at least 8 " in diameter. Blood tests were taken and Wednesday we'll have ultrasound through Purdue University. This will show if other organs are involved. ( If so , I'll hug him as he joins all my fuzzy Goldens.) If there doesn't seem to be any other invasion... he will have a splenectomy on Thursday. There will be basically 2 outcomes. ( besides if he even survives the massive surgery )splenetic hemangiosarcoma or splenetic hemangiomas. With the first, removal could give him 6 months. The latter could give him many happy years. If it's the first, I've decided to let him go ... while under. Folks, this hits me hard...as you watch the rockets going to wards the Heavens tomorrow, please send up your prayers for my Chip.I'll keep you posted. I really don't know how I can handle the next 4 days.

Awww. Gramz... I hope and pray that everything goes well for both you and Chip.

It was quick thinking on your part to get him to the vet! A less observant person would've let it slip. He's lucky for having you as a human gramz.

I'm so sorry. Your love for him comes through so clear in your posts, this must be very frightening for you. I'll be praying hard for you and your guy. My thoughts are with you and dear Chip.

Grammy, you and Chip WILL be in my prayers tonight. Poor ol' guy.

How are you holding up?

*Note to Chip: You be strong, boy! Be strong for us fellow Chazzers, and be strong for Grammy.

The hardest part about all of this is that Grammy doesn't have another to fall back on and be her cuddle-buddy if we get bad news on Chippy. For the first time forever. There's never one to "replace" the other, but we've always had two or more and it helps as we knew the others were grieving as well. But ENOUGH OF THAT! GOOD THOUGHTS, everyone! I pray that Chippy's mass has not spread and is benign!!!
