Our dog Patrick had surgery today to remove a growth. The problem is that it was at the base of his tail on the underside (you know, right next to the functional end of the digestive track?). Since he’s 97 pounds and hates to be constrained, we can’t use a collar on him so we’ll just have to watch him for the next two weeks while he heals and the stitches can be removed.

Tonight, he’s still loopy from the anesthesia so it should be quiet. Tomorrow is when it’ll get interesting.
