Great shots, love the collar one. You getting new puppy?

So true JJ, I had never thought of it that way and yes I will sleep better tonight!

Thanks Pers! Thats interesting that some get bigger and some don't? Hoping Coopers stays as it is, but I am suprised I have not noticed it before and it has got so big so quick.

Wow that is big, I was suprise when the vet said how big they can get. How long did it take to get to that size?

I agree Shell, you can get some fun shoots with a naughty dog!

Thanks CL and Wendy, it is the most aweful feeling, I was so glad the vet was very understanding, she couldn't check the contents of the biopsy right away as she had another patient but she said I can see how anxious you are I will ring you as soon as I have check it. I must have had that look on my face!I am so relieved! I remember when Brianna had the lump, what was that in the end? I should remember but I don't memory like a sieve!

Love Maggie, great shots on the series of shots. Piper, When you put it like that I can understand.

Big sigh of relief, the vet is fairly confident that it is just a fatty cyst, so keep an eye on him and it, she said due to the size of it and where it is, it could become a problem if it gets much bigger, but she said other than that they don't even know they have them. I would have thought being in his armpit it may have got sore?? Anyway so glad he will be ok. She agreed with me goggle can be great but it can also make us think the worst! SO glad my boy is ok! Glad I don't have kids I could not handle the stress if something happened to them. She also said lyphomas can grow the size of footballs. We ended up seeing Monica and she was fantastic and Cooper loved her, I was so pleased, he did have a little growl when he seen her with the needle to do the FNA so we popped the muzzle on him to be safe. He was a real champ, I was very proud of him.

Very anxiously awaiting the vets phone call, she done a fine needle aspiration and she feels pretty sure it is just a lypoma, fingers crossed she is right!!

Wow all that went totally over my head think I might have to watch some tutes on LR. I haven't been ding any serious photography latley so I have got out of the habit of it all and since getting my mac I have been using iphoto a lot more. Although I do love LR and I have LR5 on my mac now. It has annoyed me that I can't get the pics to upload strait to flickr and facebook but with iphoto i can. The option is there in LR but I just can't get it to work. Think I might have made a thread about it a while ago but no one had any ideas, I searched the net, Adobe and even sent them an email but didn't get one in return.

Thanks RP, just seen your reply in the other thread. Appointment made for 9.45. Gonna be the longest hour, I'm already up showered dressed and ready to go!

Thanks RP, I am not sure how he will go, he is a bit vet phobic as he had ear troubles when he was younger, two perforated ear drums as a puppy (long story) so we were back and forward to the vets quite a bit, then he had the (what they think was) bladder crystals, they did do a cathater (sp) while he was awake but they had sedated him for that, they did let me stay with him which was good. He wasn't to bad having the ultra sound for the crystals, no sedation. He had to have xrays on a dislocated toe and also a grass seed out which they also did under light sedation. The thing is he is/was men phobic but we have worked with him and he has basically come out of it and now we don't even need to muzzle him at the vets. But if he thinks he is going to be man handled that is when the trouble starts. Why is it the one who hates the vets the most has spent the most time there. I have rang the vet and they can't see us till 9.45 and we can only see the male vet as the female one is in surgery unless we wait another day which I don't want to do. The make vet is better for me as he knows Coopers history as we have mostly seen him. But a female vet would have been better for Coop anyway we will just deal with it. I have to remember for me to be relaxed and I think he will be fine. If I have to muzzle him I will but I would prefer not to. I don't think he would bite but he give a pretty scary warning growl I will post later with outcome.

I don't use lightroom that way, what I do is get pics of card, save into folder, decide which ones I want/need to edit then import them into light room, then once edited export back to new folder. I never knowif that's the right way to do it but it works for me and I don't need to worry about the catalogue Thingy. I have recently got a Mac and I use iPhoto the same way.

Love the funny shot. that shot of Chester is just simply awesome, love it!

I could never be a breeder, I would want to keep all the pups! It will be sad when they all have to go. I feel bad for the mumma dogs.

Don't get me wrong, Craig is good and has been great with all my lot. But Cooper is kind of special needs when it comes to vets like I said he has come a long way definatley don't want to go back to square one! Hope your right CB and we get Sue. Wondering if they decide to do a needle biopsy on the lump will they give him a local or general? Thanks for Tullys Birthday wishes JJ, she has had a lovely day.

Love Marlo! Puppies are getting so big, they are so cute, how do you get anything done? Id be playing with them all day!

Ah ok i get it now. Its Tullys 4th Birthday today, she is currently munching away on a raw hide treat, she got a toy too but she was more interested in the treat. some pics http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150302597056844.379963.609066843&l=5bee5c36ee

Glad to hear Flash is a bit better today, hope he stays that way. I agree it is aweful when they are sick. Just as well I haven't got kids I'd be a nervous wreck as a mother!

Nice shots Huga, the pizza one is so cute! Sleepy by CLTB, on Flickr Cooper giving me the evil eye in this one, not keen to have his picture taken today Look at me, Cooper Look at me! by CLTB, on Flickr

Love Cowboy! Week 25 Dinosaurs by CLTB, on Flickr he was watching Dinosaurs on tv

Thanks Poodlefan, I hope your right! Coop has just turned 5 in May. I had another feel this morning and when I stretch his leg forward the lump seems almost to disappear but it is there deep into his armpit if that makes sense, however when his leg is in a normal position it feels more like a fleshy mass rather than a lump as such. Roll on tomorrow, I will have a few more grey hairs by then! On a brighter note it is my white girl Tullys 4th Birthday today.

Oh they are so cute, whats the difference between parti coloured and blenheim?
