Hi everyone. It’s Millie here. First off mom wanted me to thank all of for your kind words and crossed paws for Walter.
Well today has been a weird day. Before we went downstairs this morning mom changed into regular clothes (as opposed to just going downstairs and having breakfast in her jammies). We always know something is up when the pawrents change into “going out” clothes. Then she and Walter went outside before he had any breakfast (usually we get breakfast and then go out). Before I knew it I heard the car starting up and after a while mom came in without Walter.
A little while later I asked to go out to the yard and looked around for him.
He wasn’t outside so I was stumped.
The weather was nice so I hung out for a while to see if he came back.
Mom tells me that Walter has been at our vet all day getting that lump thing taken out of his mouth and getting his teeth cleaned. (Maybe his breath won’t be so bad now. BOL!) According to the vet they successfully removed the lump and we have to wait a week or two for the pathology report on it.
He is home now and was happy to get some food in his belly. The vet said that Walter’s x-rays all looked good and he didn’t need any teeth taken out. Also there was no indication that the mass affected his jaw or teeth. If we are lucky this lump will be a benign epulis and need no further action. Even if it is one of those things another one might grow back in the same place or he could get another one somewhere else in his mouth but we will deal with that when and if it happens.
Thanks again to all our friends and some new friends for all your support. We will keep you informed when we know more about his lump. Now Walter would like us all to gather in the big bed for a long snuggle session.
Glad that the surgery is over and Walter is home. We will keep our paws crossed for good results
hugs
Mabel & Hilda
Thanks for the update Millie, we all send our best to Walter and pray for a good pathology report.
We’ve been thinking about Walter all day. I bet he’s glad to get this over with and be able to eat a nice dinner. Hopefully the biopsy will be benign.
Good news so far. Happy snuggling, friends. Xox Lucy and Xena

Thank you for sharing the good news about Walter’s successful vet visit – will keep POTP on the back burner for good results on that lump! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Thanks for the update Millie, we have our paws crossed it’s benign epulis and that no more grow back. BOL Tuiren’s breath got a lot better once they got the stick out of her mouth. She is teleporting over to snuggle with Walter today if that is OK with you and your parents.
Yay for you being home, Walter! My paws are crossed that the lump is benign. and nothing ever grows back. The pictures of you are just gorgeous, Millie!
I hope we return to good news. Thinking of you.
Yes, yes to benign! No, no to the “what if’s” thing about growing back! And
yes, yes to lots and lots of rest and snuggling time. Happy days are coming, we’re so sure of that Walter … thank you for all the updated news, Millie … now you rest and snuggle, too!
Yay Walter!!!!
Oh, this is just FABulous news! I read it last nights, butts Ma forgots to leave a WOOOOHOOOO comment! sigh. Happy day Walter!
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
Sending all our good thoughts and prayers Walter. Pugs
We’ve got our paws crossed the pathology report comes back saying all was benign. 🤞🏼
sending continued POTP until you get the results! Dakota is jealous that Walter DIDN’T have to have any extractions because Dakota had TWO teeth extracted on his dental in August. Sooooo happy for Walter (and YOU!) Oh and I loved the part about the “going out clothes” that was hilarious and all of us can relate! xoxo
Millie thank you for the update on your handsome brudder. I bet you thought he was hiding in the bushes waiting for you to find him.
I know you are taking very very good care of him. Give him a kissy and tell him having had oral surgery 2 weeks ago I can sympathize with his plight.
I hope he can eat ok
Hugs Cecilia
We are crossing our paws and hooves that the pathology result will be good.
Woofs,
Ollie
I am so glad that it all went well. I hope that he’s recovering well… Hugs to all of you. I bet that Millie is glad to have her brother back!
