Bogart entered Burleigh Road Animal Hospitat at 8 am, and at 4 pm I picked him up. In between he had surgery to remove three small Lipoma from his belly/chest. These benign fatty lumps were not causing him any pain, they were not large enough to cause any problems, yet. Vets will say to just leave them rather than to anesthetize a patient for surgery. With Bandit, we did leave the lump and it was the reason he is no longer with us. It was grossly large but he had gotten too old to have surgery, the skin was stretched too thin, and it was so uncomfortable for him that he bit at it, and well... Bogart is healthy now but as he gets older and these lumps continued to grow, they would hinder how he lies down, or possibly how he walks, so that is why he had surgery today.
Otto was not happy when Bo left this morning. He does not like being by himself. He cried, like only Otto can do (you know what I mean!).

| Where is Bo?? |
Hurray!!! Bo is home, now Otto can finally relax. All is right again!
Here are his three incisions. He is wearing a t shirt to protect the stitches from rubbing when lies down.
