Today I want you to meet a member of the pack that till recently we werent sure if he'd be with us for the move...
Hoss just had his spleen removed days ago. What the vet thought was pneumonia was actually a infected spleen... Nope, wait! Thats not a infection, its CANCER!
As the vet opened him up the spleen started rupturing and had 5 golf ball sized masses and it was the size of a large dinner plate...
The surgery was a success. This Senior pupper dodged a bullet, the cancer hadnt spread and was completely removed with his spleen.
As I type this he is happily wagging his tail and smiling just like in the photo.
This photo was taken 2 days after the surgery when we picked him up.
Hoss is a rescue between 12-16 years old. He is 100% healthy except for arthritis (This was the vets opinion, this is one healthy dog!). And even though hes a rescue we found him and he was 2+ full grown... We've had him 11 years.. So yes, this is that super ripped, healthy old man you see lifting weights. He is the Chuck Norris of doggos and we call him Big Boss sometimes. And he is a very, VERY happy boy-o. Always wagging his tail and smiling like in the photo.
And I love him soo much. He is my baby. He is protective, loves kids, and has a great attitude.
I have spoiled him rotten. He also likes giving "gifts."
Not like cats... He brings us toys! Food? He gets a toy for us. Outside? Finds a toy. Home? Have a toy!
He also dislikes cats... That and his barking (He is a hound, it is loud and endless but expected for his breed).. Thats his only bad points to me.
And.. Thats Hoss-Boss.
