Hey, thanks for tuning in.

I just got a text from my wife that my dog came through surgery well.

They removed as much as they could of the tumor, sent it for tests.

We pick them up this afternoon.

Yeah, as much as they could.

That's the problem.

He's got a cancerous growth, which is too close to arteries and nerves and that sort

of thing.

It is chest slash throw to get all of it.

So we'll say, don't send it off for tests.

That's the beautiful and tragic thing about dogs.

Is there just a chapter of your life?

I was thinking about this the other day.

If a person lived to 90 and the average dog's life is, I mean, if you average big breeds,

small breeds, dogs that get lucky and have long healthy lives, dogs that get unlucky,

it looks like maybe backsteroz because he's just nine and a half.

If you average it out, what do you think folks?

11 years, just on average, dogs life, something like that.

If you lived to be 90 years old, that means in the space of your life, you could have eight

dogs one after the other.
