This Week I have:
It’s been a rough week for me. My dog Harry (potter) went in for surgery to remove a tumor last week, and while it was successful and he is happy and well at home, we finally got the results back and he has a very aggressive lymphoma. He has been such a great dog, that this is very sad news for me. His vet says that he has anywhere from one month to two years left, so my family is giving him all kinds of extra attention and love right now. He’s doing fine at the moment and he is going to be on medicine, but we need to keep watching him for new tumors. I am just hoping that it is closer to the two year mark because and I not ready to say goodbye to him in a month.
Here are some pictures of Harry in all his cute glory! (and some of Ron because he is just a little attention hog lol)
Here they are in their christmas finest!
Ron is the red one and Harry is the black one.
Ron is the red one and Harry is the black one.
And these are after his surgery last week. With his little purple cast. And he hates the cone of shame so much. Poor puppy. (although he is being treated like a king lol)
And I have two great giveaways coming up next week so be sure to stop by the blog
The cancer made his skim scaly on his nose and patchy, but he has gotten a shot and all of his hair has regrown back in. but it is white. So he is a dapple dog now

I am so sorry to hear about Harry! Hearing those things make me cry. I hope he can pull through!
You’re books sound great though! I hope you can stop by mine.

Love your puppies – give Harry a kiss for me 😉
Vilia
Ohh, I’m so very sorry. I hope that when the time eventually does come that he isn’t in any pain.
Jessica @ a GREAT read
Nice haul! These are all new to me but I hope you enjoy them!
Awww! Poor Harry! I hope for your sake as well that he has two years. It’s always hard to say goodbye to a beloved pet. And I hope for Harry’s sake that the cone of shame isn’t a permanent fixture. At least he has a soft cone, when our dog had surgery and got his own cone of shame, it was a hard plastic and he too great joy–because I do believe he did it on purpose!–in whacking his head around and hitting our legs with the cone!
Hope all goes well with Harry and that you enjoy your new reads!
Here’s my STS
Have a GREAT day!

I’m sorry to hear about Harry. {{{posivibes}}} for the longer time rather than the shorter.

Sorry about your sweet Harry and hopefully he will have the longer amount of time. I know it is awful to have that kind of diagnosis and to lose a pet. Hugs to you all! You have a really good book haul.
Cyn
Lovely haul, The Truth about Alice looks and sounds amazing! Your puppies are so cute! I hope Harry feels better soon!

awww poor harry hope he’s feeling better soon. I really want to read The truth about Alice
Peggy Farooqi
It is very hard when our pets are ill and facing the prospects of losing them, especially if you have to make ‘that’ decision one day. Stay strong, I’ve been there a few times. It hurts.
Christy @ Love of Books
Aww, I love your wiener! I sure hope he stays with you for a long time.
Nice haul, Michelle! 🙂
Andrea @The Bookish Babes
I like your dogs’ names! My mom has a red and a black dachshund.

wasn’t the cone called the Cone of Silence or was it the Cone of Shame in the movie UP!? Poor pooch
Fireflywishes
The Truth About Alice is on my wish list, it sounds very intense!
I hope you love all your books!
Aww, really sorry to hear about Harry, I hope you get the two years with him – or longer, you know doctors they can be so pessimistic! <33
