Day 91, Micky Doodle

Yup, today marks 3 months since my quest to do a daily blog.... post-a-day for a year. I haven't blown it yet... Unusual. I am easily bored and distracted, so I fully anticipated a blow-off by now. Yet here I am... still searching daily for something to say. Tonight's will be short and sweet. Jane is coming around, opening her eyes, and only one tube remains. She is amazing. Truly, I feel the Lord's blessing on her behalf, and I am grateful for that.
On a painful note, Ron took Mick to the vet today. Practically over night he developed a golf-ball-sized tumor in his throat. They think it might be cancer....so they are running tests. There is a possibility it is an infection... but the vet seemed quite skeptical. If it's cancer, according to everything Ron read online, he will only have 4-6 weeks left. I cannot even begin to wrap my head around that. He is such an amazing dog...amazing from the first day we brought him home. I've never known an animal quite like him. We tease him all the time because he is so neurotic and hates to have his routine tampered with... and he has this amazing floppy ear that cracks us up.... and now, I fear we will lose him. It's just too soon.
Well... there is a chance it's only an infection, right? So for tonight, I will hope.

Poor Mick! I know we're not that close, but that's just sad. I hope he's ok.

The prognosis is not good.
