My buddy Champ is in trouble again....

[Blueface]

Well, a great day yesterday with wife passing the citizenship test is now followed by a not so good one today.
Took Champ this morning for his surgery.
Doctor took a closer look and I am very grateful for his honesty/sincerity.
I guess in part because he seems to be just a nice guy, period. I guess also in part due to having been my daughter's boss.
Bottom line, should not operate him.
The tumor appears to be into the tissue/muscle. Cannot totally clean him out and in two months, we would be here as today all over again.
Trying now to reach out to holistic vet to do anything and all to make whatever short time he appears to have left, comfortable, painless and worthwhile.
Tough day to work and to focus on anything.
Have not told the wife yet and probably will wait until she gets home.
