It's been a hot but fun summer. Lots and lots of swimming (Nate is part fish, I'm convinced of it). A beach vacation to Emerald Isle, NC. Stay-cation activities like the Franklin Institute and Dutch Wonderland. The boys and I have had a blast. Despite all their energy, Nate and Sam always find time to cuddle with me. I'm so happy to have such great little brothers. Unfortunately, I got some bad news yesterday. I had to spend a very stressful day at the doctor's office. They shaved my belly! I'm so ITCHY now. Anyway, they did a test and found a mass on something called a liver. The doc explained to my mom that I don't have a good prognosis but the doc sent us home with lots of meds to keep me comfy. So far, I feel OK. Kind of slow but I still love to eat and go for walkies. I wish I knew more about my liver but Mommy cries a lot so I guess it's something important. My plan is to keep wagging my tail until everyone starts smiling again. That'll do the trick, I'm sure of it.
