Halloween Weekend 2008

We took Tucker to cousins Abby, Charlie, and Allison's house in Gahanna for trick-or-treating on Friday (Halloween) night. I ordered an adorable turtle costume online for Tucker. :) He looked really cute in it, but didn't seem very thrilled to have it on. So, it wasn't on for long. We did get a few pictures of him in it before we took it off, though. :)






Then, we headed to the lake house on Saturday morning to celebrate Mom's, Heather's, and Brian's birthdays. We had a fun, relaxing weekend! I took a few cute pictures of Tucker and Molly (Mom and Dad's golden) watching intently as Brian ate a sandwich. :)








One more picture ... silly Tucker hanging out on the couch at the lake house this weekend.




We also got some very good news today. Tucker had a suspicious purple lump removed from his side last Thursday (10/30). After removing the lump, Dr. Halliday (our vet) was pretty certain that it was malignant, and that the hemangiosarcoma has spread. We were very sad to hear this. He sent the lump away to the pathologist to confirm his suspicions. Dr. Halliday called me late this afternoon to give me the great, though unexpected, news that the pathology report revealed that the lump was just a benign hemangioma! Hooray!! So, it appears that the cancer is NOT spreading! All of the positive thoughts and energy must be working!! We are going to continue with all of the supplements and the low-carb diet, and will continue to keep a close watch on all of Tucker's lumps and bumps. We will follow up with a chest x-ray in January to see how Tucker's lungs look at that point. Let's hope that things will continue to go well! We would love lots and lots of positive thoughts and energy from everyone! :)
