Last night was nice, we sat out in the hot tub and watched the Perseid Meteor shower. We started about 10:30 and I came in about 11:30. The best time to watch would have been 2 AM or so, but no way to stay up that late. We saw a dozen or so, which was nice.

Sam is coming along nicely.. unfortunately being a non-house-broken pup and just coming out of surgey results in several accidents.. but that's to be expected. He was wanting to play this morning (with just about anything that moves). How do you explain to a puppy that he is not supposed to run/jump for a week? :)

The iffy news. When Broderick went in for his physical a few weeks ago, Holly pointed out a lump on his back to the Dr. (We noticed it on the beach, but it is very easy to overlook, unless he is turned just right and the light is just right. They took x-rays and called the next day to say that they looked normal but they were going to talk with a specialist. Today, the office called and scheduled a consultation with the surgeon tomorrow at 3:30. This is freaking Holly out as it seems like they are trying to rush him in. I told her that we may just be lucky that he had an opening. Of course, the nurse didn't say what they think it was. Her only comment when she came back from putting Holly on hold is "Sorry for the wait, I wanted to make sure our surgeons did this sort of thing."AGH!
We talked with Stuart (my Brother-in-law who is a cardiologist in Springfield) when we first took him in who said that we really need to see a orthopedic surgeon who specialixed in children. Of course, there doesn't seem to be one in Champaign. Springfield has one, but evidently Amber (my sister who is also a Dr in Springfield) doesn't like him.
Well... no use in freaking out about it until we know something.
