My sister's hedgehog just had a tumor removed... Apparently it was breast cancer - if it has spread there is nothing they can do. If it hasn't, they might spay her to hopefully keep new tumors from developing.
I have the tripod. The boxer was my parents' and little brothers' dog, they've had him since he was a puppy, about 10 years. He was a part of the family.
"It would have been better if men and dogs grew from boyhood and puppyhood together, and in so doing pass on together. However, nature is not so ordered. So long as there are dogs and men, dogs will die and men will weep for them." - Burton Spiller
