Jefe update

I brought Jefe home this morning. He seems to be doing extraordinarily well, considering the tumor weighed in at 6 lbs. Considering his pre-surgery weight was 52 lbs., that's remarkable. I hate to admit he looks like one of the abused dogs in an ASPCA commercial. The vet commented on his "indominable spirit." You can say that again.

That said, he has seemed to feel pretty well today, though obviously sore. His nose and gums are already looking much more pink than they have in months. His pulse and respiratory rate are within normal limits. He has been trying to follow me and Miss Fluffy around the house some today. His tail-wag is strong. He's peeing alot. He's eating like he's starved (which, frankly, he has been).

A sample of the tumor has been sent off. We'll know more soon enough.

He's resting comfortably now on the couch with Miss Fluffy. He's most likely pooped. He's had a tough couple of days. Hopefully he'll continue on the upswing.
