Well my poor 2 1/2 year old chocolate lab pup, Diesel is goin under the knife at 7:30 in the morning. A couple months ago he developed a small lump on his side, now its the size of a baseball with 2 other smaller ones. I finally made an appt. And they are going to cut into him in the morning. Hopefully everything turns out alright, I'd sure hate to lose him, hes just like a kid to me, and my 19 month old daughters best friend.
