Buddha recently had surgery to remove a giant tumor from his right rear leg. Left alone the growth would have eventually interfered with his walking not to mention he wouldn’t have been running. I was surprised to see that his skin was spotted just like his fur. In these shots he looks a bit like a medical chart where the body is in layers. He is doing nicely. Running but his activity is still limited. He is a good boy.

Sending blessings to your Buddha boy!
Thanks Jude. Don’t we love our dogs?
He’s so beautiful!!!! Much love to him and hugs and kisses too.
He has slowed down since his surgery. The tumor had invaded the area around the tendons in the lower leg so I think it will be awhile in healing. He is running however……just not as much. Very sweet nature…….coyote dog.
I am so sorry … ,but all’s well that ends well!Gorgeous dog,dear Gretchen,you have been together with Buddha for such a long tme.Hugs to him from me 🙂
Thank you. Buddha is a singular bad boy and all around great dog. He has Buddha nature.
I know about the nature of this creature,he’s truly singular,you introduced him to us some years ago:)
Warm positive thoughts for continued healing and good health.
Thank you for your healing blessing. He is a good boy. Buddha nature he has.
Poor Buddha pup. I’m glad you are both safe in the mountains.
My dogs are both old now but still happily doing life. I wish that all dogs could live in the manner that they do. Running, sniffing, rolling in the leaves, swimming in the creek each day.
Oh, I am so glad he is doing well, Gretchen! He is beautiful!
Thank you. He is a great dog.
