THANK YOU GUYS for all your well wishes. both the boys are having their teeth cleaned, but they're going to remove some of sherman's tumors while he's under anesthesia. i'm not having all of them removed because if i did he'd be cut up to pieces. he's getting on up there in age (he'll be 11 in december) and he's got quite a few fatty tumors, but we had them cut off 3 years ago and the vet said they'd come back and that they're harmless as long as they're not too big and as long as they don't hurt him when we mess with them. here's a pic from that surgery. if we cut off all the fatty tumors he'd have stitches like this all over his body and i just didn't want that for him as long as it doesn't hurt to leave the tumors there.
he's still a cutie even covered in stitches!
this time we're basically just cutting off the tumors on the outside of his body (like little warts). the only one they're worried about is one on his front arm because it looks kinda bad. they're going to send that one off to check for cancer. i'm sure he will be fine!
