Mel got adopted out today and left with her new people for a nice new home in Virginia. They seemed like nice folks and I think Mel's going to get all the love and attention she needs. Now the dogs and I will take a bit of a break before tackling...

Dog Park USA

Got a call from Nala's vet today with her biopsy results. Looks like they got all of the mast cell tumour and characterized it with a low likelihood of recurrence. I'll still need to watch out for any other bumps that might form, but she's lookin...
