My Boxer Babies

These two hams are my first born babies. Sayde, who is 9, still thinks she's a puppy and Moose, my 7 1/2 year old handsome boy is old beyond his years. I don't think I've ever mentioned my pups in a blog before and the reason I do now is to ask for your prayers for my two guys over the next few weeks. I took them both in to see the vet yesterday concerning some growths they've had for some time that look suspicious and my Moose has been limping for a few weeks off and on. Well it looks like my little man may have torn his ACL in his rear leg and has a tumor that concerns the doc. Kind of the same story for my Sayde, minus the ACL injury, except her tumor has caused major concern above all the other issues I brought my two in for yesterday. A mass cell tumor is what the vet is thinking may be growing on her chest (which you can see in the picture of her below). Please pray for my guys over the next few weeks as they are both scheduled for surgery to remove these grows next week and Moose will follow up with another surgery to repair his leg in the coming weeks. They are reaching the senior years for their breed and I just hope that they stay with us for several more. I guess I never stopped to think about how old they were getting until yesterday. It was a sad day and I just hope that we will get them through this and they will stick around for a while longer!

Here are my babies....white faces and all :0)

He prefers to lay around these days....such sadness in those eyes :0(
