Jake and Riley update

Last year I found a lump on Jakes chest. It was small and when we went for his annual exam they did a needle aspiration and said it was a fatty tumor.

Over the last 6 months its grown. So last saturday I took him in for his annul again and it had grown from 1cm to  2.4cm. The vet took another needle sample and got just fatty cells. She decided to take another one from a different angle. She got some other cells this time but when she put them on the slide they were broken and unidentifiable. So on August 28th we go back in for another try.

Riley is doing pretty good, he had a complete checkup because he was acting way out of character. Didn't want to go outside by himself. wouldnt' lay on the porch like he used to. Every thing checked out fine except his urine was diluted. I had noticed that he was drinking a lot more water than normal but as it had been very hot lately I figured it was the weather. So we are waiting to see if he slows back down when the weather cools or if we have to find another reason for his increased water intake.

Never a dull moment in our house
