His pink plushie dog is in there as well, no worries.

Brutus wouldn't sleep without it!😀

I thought he had a plushie! But it just wasn’t a bear.

When he was a puppy he got a blue doggy plushie, he uses it as a pacifier but that does cause damage, so we bought spare doggies as well.

As it turns out there are three pink versions and the original blue.

Everytime he gets too rough with one, my girl repairs it and he gets one of the others during repairs.

He never sleeps without one.

Brutus met his friend Theo in the woods.

 

 

[TGP]

What kind of dog is Theo?

[TGP]

Theo looks like some kind of retriever or maybe a blond lab?

Yep, Labrador Retriever, Blond.

Went to the VET yesterday.

Vaccinated Brutus.

 

We talked about his tumors, they seem to be of the slow growing kind, no problems yet.

Of course Brutus getting bald worries me and we discussed that.

 

It's caused by a small tumor which normally could be removed by surgery ( castration).

Surgery is out of the question due to his intestines that are in his chest and part runs through his heart pocket.

But this VET came up with the option of chemical castration, a chip that releases hormones is injected and it will counter the "bad" hormones.

It's not a guarantee but it could keep things in check so he won't lose more hair or maybe even grow a little back.

The chip will work for 6 months, we can repeat it if things do work.

Since he won't have any problems from it I decided to go for it.

 

I hope to enhance his quality of life for the remaining year(s) and I felt that this was something we could do.

Wasn't that expensive either so even if it doesn't work, no harm done and worth the try.

Good for you. I am glad you are making Brutus' golden years as pleasant as possible. Being there for a good friend is a privilege.

Good call! Hope he starts looking like Cousin It from the Addams Family!

Marja was working in the garden, Brutus acted as a supervisor.

Of course he needed a doggy blanket to sit comfortably, one doesn't just sit on cobblestones does one?

Marja is now safe from being abducted by garden pirates.
