oh my god. wow. that just floors me, that he can have cancer there in the first place, and that they can, and have operated on it successfully. but but but! his nose! his poor nose! which to lose, of all things considered, i suppose isnt so bad. and keeping his nose certainly isnt as important as keeping his life in a way that he can still be happy and active. but still, thats gonna take some adjusting to. hopefully they are able to leave him more of his nose than the poor dog in the first picture. those pictures were just, wow. thats something i'd never even imagined as a possibility. sending hugs and lots of good vibes to you and yours. i'm sure spike will still be spike even if he loses his nose. but wow.
