• Weekend plans: Try to relax a little, catch up on writing posts. It’s been a rollercoaster of a week! Yesterday, Mellan had a teeth cleaning, which involved anesthesia, and as he’s almost 13 years old and a slew of health conditions, it’s never ideal to put him under. However, his health has seemed “stable” despite all he has, and it’s been 2.5 years since his last cleaning (which I kind of thought of as the “last” to get him through the remainder of his years). I decided that it made more sense to keep his teeth in good condition while he is stable than wait for them to get gnarly and it become a “must-do” when he’s even older. Thankfully, he had a smooth, extraction-free cleaning, and they also took care of some skin bumps and lumps that he had that he was always scratching at. I’m curious if those patches will grow back as slowly as the patch on his side (which is still not fully grown back after almost 9 months!).
• What is something you’re excited about this October?: Cooler weather!! Even I’m fed up with 100+ degree temperatures!

Light of my life! He’s wide awake and back home. He had a dental cleaning today, and I’m so happy it went smoothly and he’s already back to his old tricks. He also had lil’ refresh as they took off some of his old man bumps (he would always scratch at them). Like a whole new dog ? Still has all of his teeth ?
