Bruno

So this is Bruno. He's my 3-yr old Weimaraner/GSP mix. I took this picture on my way home from Ohio the day I got him in 2005. Tuesday on the way to and from the vet, a much larger Bruno looked up at me the exact same way. :)
Turns out Bruno does have an infection that we have to treat, along with a few other issues. For the most part though, my biggest fear of a cancer or something worse has been put at ease. Luke recommended a new vet, Katherine, that I took him to at the Brighton Animal Hospital and she said that she's not worried that it was anything overly serious. She ran a few tests and prescribed three different drugs and requested a 'sample' to be brought back in for review...I am still working on collecting that...
He was so good at the vet's office. He laid at my feet just smelling everything. The air, the rugs, other dogs as they went by. He got all kinds of compliments for his behavior. Everyone was asking what kind of dog he was. I do have to say, my in home dog-whisperer has worked wonders with him. He has always been good in places where there are strange people, usually sticking with me and sitting close by. But Tuesday he was exceptional (and yes I am partial). During his exam he was such a trooper. Just stood there while he got poked and prodded. I was very impressed. And I wasn't the only one. The doctor and the nurse both commented on what a good boy he was!
So that's the update on my boy. So far he's ok. Any change, and I'll be talking about it I am sure.
