Teak Dog Tuesday!

Teak had his tumor removed yesterday, and they're testing it this week to see if it was truly benign, like the vet speculated.  In the mean time, he has a big shaved patch on his shoulder, and he has about a two-inch-long scar with stitches.  He didn't need a cone (this time around) since his mouth can't reach that spot on his shoulder, but he can reach it with his back legs to scratch it and possibly pull the stitches out.  The solution to that problem is hobbling his legs, which basically means that his back legs are tied together.  They're wrapped so that they're always about two inches apart, preventing him from scratching at the stitches, and also forcing him to bunny-hop around the house and the yard.  His legs have to stay hobbled for a week!  I feel so bad for him.

I love this little dog.
