Stay awake all week and still I wait

Just got a call from the vet; he'd just got off the phone with the laboratory and they're saying another 48 hours before they can have our results.

So now our provisional date for the surgery is Friday. Also, I kind of want to KICK SOMEONE TO DEATH RIGHT NOW ARRRRRRGGHHHHHH ASGFGKLJKFH!!!!%XXXCZ;!

The vet did say that he feels at this stage it won't make a lot of difference if Spike damages the surface of the thing playing fetchy, so at least we all got to let off some steam. I've discovered that the best fetchy toy for Spike is the cut-off tracksuit bottom (sweatpants) leg with knots and no stuffing; that's narrow enough that he can carry it about without using the front of his mouth at all, which he's being very smart about doing.

WTF? That's not really "urgent" is it? I'd want to stab someone in the eyes myself. Stabbity.

At least he got to blow off steam today. I can't imagine what it's like for him when he can't, poor guy.

well, the vet DID warn me that the physical process of preparing the biopsy involved letting it set for 48 hours after they did something technical to it, but we'd expected them to set that in motion BEFORE the fucking bank holiday so it could set over the weekend. They don't seem to have managed that. He didn't sound too impessed either.

can your dog eat ice? My cat that had mouch tumor used to love to cue on frozen fish and treets.
Hang in there.

oooh, good point, he likes ice cubes anyway - though usually in hotter weather than we're having now.

thank you <3

I would have just lost my mind at the lab people.
