4th of July - Running with my family

Today, my family ran the Four on the 4th 4K run with our dog. It was a fundraiser for the Humane Society. The sun was out and we had fun with our Hero dog.

 

 

 

Hero had a tumor removed from his back 9 days ago. The biopsy results came back with fibro carcinoma. The news was very disheartening. Hopefully, we had it removed before it spread to somewhere else in his body. This cancer is slow to spread so that is good news. However, it has "fingers" and it's possible the vet didn't get the whole thing out. She did remove tissue one inch all the way around the tumor so I am hopeful that it is all gone.

 

 

 

He is healing up very well and will get his stitches out in a couple more days. The vet was also hopeful that the rest of the scar on his back will shrink over the next year. Meanwhile, we have to keep it covered when he is in the sun so he doesn't get sunburned!
