My buddy Atom Ant, a foster dog with LBR, could use some good vibes from everyone! Here's his story:


It's not a rumor
I have a tumor
For this I'm bummed times ten.

It's not so swell
It has mast cells
So it's back to the Vet once again.

From what I've learned
There is a concern
That the margins might not be clean

But I'm just a pup
And I'll keep my chin up
Dirty margins? Well, that would be mean.

To benefit my life
I'll be under the knife
Next Thursday, October twenty-eighth.

Would you please be so kind
As to keep me in mind
And by all means keep the faith?

I'm a busy boy
I'm full of joy
I still have so damn much to do

This won't get me down
I refuse to frown
After all..... I still have to write chapter two.

Love,
Atom.

    Best of luck on your surgery, Atom! I have a cousin who had surgery for his cancer not long ago and he's doing just fine. Don't stress about it. Just remember that you can get a lot of treats after it's over with the sympathy card!

    Atom, Maggie Mae sent us over to pass on some loving thoughts! My sister and I have both had mast cell tumors removed. We were lucky and our margins were good and we are happy and healthy. We are a bit scarred up, but mom thinks it gives us more character.

    Sending the Power of the Paw!

    Wags!

    Hi Atom Ant, we too are furiends of Maggie Mae. We came to wish you well. Our Phantom has had two bouts of that nasty "C" word too and hasn't been guaranteed of big enough clean margins either. But he is hanging in there and tells you to live strong and fight hard. We will cross our paws for you too.
