Buford--time to remove some growths

Oh my poor boy!

Every year there seems to be another medical "procedure" or anomaly that he
has to endure and/or suffer. Now it's growths and their removal.

He has a sebaceous cyst on his back that has doubled in size in the last month and change. Then there's this mass under his left front arm within the folds of his skin. And then there's this mass wihtin the skin of his belly just to the left of his penis.

--and he doesn't seem to care or even notice them. That's good!

But, given that he is anything but normal, we are going to be safe rather than sorry and have all of them removed and biopsied. My vet and others are not very alarmed by them, nor overly worried, but again, get them off/out and make sure. Right now he's healthy and vibrant, etc. Why wait for nasty symptoms of a bigger issue to rear their ugly head when now, if something "bad" is discovered, he is strong enough to undergo treatement? That's the thought process.

So on April 11th my baby goes "under the knife."

....I'm a wreck....
