After a few months his lumps started getting really big and expressive. He had to have surgery twice, one side at a time. I chose not to have the tissue tested because it cost so much more. He healed well, but we assume the masses were cancerous since he passed months later. Yeah, he cost me a lot of money for a "pocket pet" I barely knew, but he deserved love and a chance. He was sweet and always smiling!Nikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12987567620182258096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736086379726452708.post-77495401861268065282018-07-07T23:25:27.332-04:002018-07-07T23:25:27.332-04:00I know a 3rd-generation, salt-of-the-earth type of...I know a 3rd-generation, salt-of-the-earth type of old Yankee dairy farmer who says about the cost of having animals: "It's cheaper than seeing a therapist."
