A dog person myself. As a matter of fact, the house behind us now has a shepard pup that showed up this past week. I always make a point to go over to the fence and pet him everyday.
Glad to hear the update.

Sorry dude about not calling. But yes that is in your backyard from about two years ago during Americade. He has on his Harley Davidson bandana.
We went to the vet to see how he is doing. He looked better than I expected. And already want out for a walk. The Vet explained that his blood count should be around 60. Before surgery his count was a 29 (anemic) , after surgery he fell to a 15 (severely anemic). Now 8 hours after surgery he went back up to a 24. This is good progress but he needs to be higher.
I got to look at the spleen. They explained how it should look. This thing was huge, more than twice the normal size and twisted. Thank god there was no sign of any cancer
The bad news is, because of our budget I can’t afford 24 hour care. The Dr. Called and gave me a progress report but it was 8 pm and they were closing for the night. No one will be monitoring him for the next 12 hours.
. Unfortunately this is a risk we knew ahead of time. All we can do is pray over night all will be well. We all feel confident that he will be fine.Thanks again everyone.
