Well, the rear leg tumor was indeed cancerous but with clear margins I'm feeling good! Thanks for all your well wishes. I'm back from Alaska but still in the states for a couple more days. I'll try to post more pictures from my Alaska experience soon.

Peace out!

Surgery

Raoul ended up having two mass cell tumors removed. One on his front right leg and one on his rear right leg. We won't know if they are malignant until the tests come back in a couple of weeks. I hope to post pictures of him later today. He is not handling it so well and whimpered all night. The poor guy has to wear a cone around his head and that is making it harder for him to get comfortable. Fortunately, he's finally getting some sleep now.

Thanks for all your kind thoughts.

Mast Cell Tumor

I'm headed to Alaska tomorrow and will have surgery on Tuesday for a mass cell tumor on my rear leg. Sadly, on my visit to South Dakota I found out I have a mass cell tumor. Hopefully this will be benign but they can only find out when they do a biopsy during the removal. Please send me good karma so that I won't have cancer.

I'll keep ya posted.

Exhausted but happy boys.

While visiting my grandparents in South Dakota, I often hang out on their bear rug!

Olive was one row in front of me on the flight and also enjoyed hanging out of her bag!

Friendly Skies!

This was the easiest trip back to the states! The flight attendants allowed both Olive and me to hang on the seat outside of our bags! It was great!

We finally met Olive and her mom! Can you believe we happened to book the same flight back to the states?

Dog Days at the Park

Another glorious day at the dog park in Geneva. I'm off to the USA on Monday for two months. Hopefully Lufthansa will treat me right! Wish me luck! I'll post more next week from my new location.

Portable Pooch!

This little chihauhau was being toted around for her walk. She didn't seem to mind one bit! Oh the luxury of not having to exert oneself but still being able to cruise the hood. Ok. Ok. The downside is you can't really check the full pee-mail without a good proper sniff!

Peace out!

New Rug and Friends!

Snoopy came over to enjoy my new rug that my dad brought back from Afghanistan. We now have a proper speedway through the hall!

Chico's Visit

Chico was over for a couple of nights! We started out with some pig ears as seen below.


Chico took a little breather on the couch.


I watched, as Chico proceeded to thrash on the rooster.

And finally, he put the rooster to bed and went to sleep himself.

Trip to Hermance!

Yesterday I went with my friend Chico to Hermance. It was quite fun and completely wore me out as you can see by the photo below.

First we went through the village on our way to the forest. We met some westies along the journey.

Most of the forest we followed a stream under a nice canopy of trees until it opened up next to a field. This is where Chico and I made our leap through the barb wire fence to investigate the cows! These cows were very nice and allowed us to share their space.

I hope we go out there again. I spied a few cow patties that might be perfectly aged the next time we go. Mmmm. Yummy. Nothing like a perfectly aged patty.

Summer Finally!!!

Sorry it's been awhile since my last post. Lots of activity around here since the weather has warmed up. My daddy was here for a couple days then had to go off to Afghanistan. He is trying to help them figure out what is poisoning them. It is pointing to their food supply. As a pug, I can understand this. When your food is not safe you have to take desperate measures!

Anyway, the weather is much better and I've been hanging out with my friend Snoopy on his terraces.

Here's me on the other terrace with one of Snoopy's many beds. There was talk about a swimming pool for Snoopy but I'm happy that hasn't happened yet. I can't stand to get my feet wet!


Have a great day! Peace out!

Yoda's Sister Dido!

It turns out Yoda's sister lives in my neighborhood! Her names Dido and she's quite the spunky girl!

Meet pug baby Yoda!

The larger sleeping pug is Botox whom I posted a while back as a young pup. He's now six months and has a new playmate, Yoda!

Yoda is only two and a half months old and has an older buddy Chew Baca the boxer. Both Yoda and Botox hang out at a Toiletage for dogs where their parents work.

As you can see, Yoda is a super adorable baby!!!
