My baby is going under the knife on Friday

My baby is Zeus, our dog. He will have surgery tomorrow morning. I will post before and after pictures once everything goes well. He is 10 years old, but blood work shows he is perfectly healthy. Labs commonly grow fatty tissue tumors that don't cause any problems. He started growing 2 softball size tumors on both shoulders that look like saddlebags. This is not cosmetic surgery, he has up to 14 that could possibly be removed tomorrow. They will remove what they can in 1 hour (those that cause loss of motion/largest in size). I have shopped around (4 to be exact) for the best vet. I have found him and Zeus loves him (I think he is a dog whisperer) as well.

I'll be thinking of poor Zeus and wishing him (and his mommy) well. I hope they can take lots of tumors off so you don't have to deal with them growing into something bad (and more expensive). We'll wish him a speedy recovery and lots of doggie treats.
