I am so pressed for time...

I am so pressed for time (my class starts at 10!) so I apologize for not responding to comments individually.  I'll be off the air while in class (runs from 10 - 2), so unfortunately I won't know anything else to share after this update until this afternoon.  🙁

Scooter made it through surgery, but his prognosis is guarded, at best.  He lost his spleen and a lot of blood.  The tumor was HUGE.  It must have been growing fast because the vet examined him pretty thoroughly just two months ago.  I started feeling it over the weekend so I don't think it was always there.  Shaun got a photo.  Maybe he'll post it in the comments so as not to spam people who are sensitive to things like that - I don't know.  You can always just message him if you want to see it.

Anyway.  Scoot's old, he was very underweight, and just all around not doing so well, so we have no idea if he's going to pull through or not.  I'm rooting for my old man, of course.  I love him so much and I have no idea how I'm supposed to concentrate on anything but him today, but worrying accomplishes nothing, so maybe class will keep me distracted.

And with that, I'm off.  Send some good vibes to my old man, please.  I didn't get the feeling that he was ready to give up yet, so if he's fighting then I am, too.  ❤❤❤
