Thankful Thursday

Thankful Thursday is baaack!

And I'm very thankful today that my crazy ear bump seems to be non-life-threatening, after all! I still have a bump on my ear, but we're pretty sure it was caused by a particularly rough ear scratching with my back foot and a sharp toenail. Mom is keeping my nails trimmed now - she'd sort of let them go to seed there for a long while. MOM...

Ear bump looking much less ominous

I think I just nicked it and it got infected, then I scratched it again, then again, and kept making it bleed and irritating it and aggravating it. I can't help it that it's the perfect distance and angle from my back foot!? Now it's all healed over and it's just... a bump. I can live with that.


Anyway... It's all good and it looks like me and my manpants will be around to keep you entertained for some time to come. ; )  Thanks again for the PawCircle and all the prayers and good wishes! I love you guys. 


What are you thankful for this week??


I'm not going to make this a blog-hop, since I'm posting so late, so just leave a comment with what you're thankful for this week. If you want to, you can write your own gratuity post and leave us the link!


 Cheers!

Update: Stupid Ear Bump

So this is the deal, if you've been following... I had this thing on my ear that showed up out of nowhere. Mom freaked out. We REALLY try to avoid me going to the Vet, or having one come here because then I REALLY FREAK OUT. I'm 18 and Mom doesn't want me having a stroke because of an exam that may be for nothing harmful...

So we're waiting it out to see if it goes away with Neosporin.

It hasn't gone away, but it's reduced in size a little, and it's not dark red anymore, now it's pink, like the rest of my ear. So we're waiting.

Dad is POSITIVE it's nothing to worry about and will go away on its own. Mom still thinks it might need to be lanced or I might need oral antibiotics, but they're both pretty decided that they don't think it's a tumor, and the Vet is advising us via Mom's pics of my ear.

It's finally decent enough to show you a pic. I didn't want to gross anyone out earlier, but now it's just a big ol' pink bump on my dang ear. Not so scary looking. Mom's still not happy about it, though.

But I had a great time today - ran down the stairs into the courtyard, wandered around, ran back up again... I'm feelin' pretty fly for an old guy.

I'll let you know if there's anything to report...

Thanks, everybody!

Pawcircle Update - Dateline: Saturday

Stop. Messing. With. My. Ear.

No news to report. Still waiting to see if Neosporin will have an effect on the scary bump on my ear, or if I need to go to the vet on Monday (See PawCircle Request  & PawCircle Update: Dateline Friday if  you need to catch up on the sitch.)


I'll have another Giveaway once Mom is done obsessing. Pepi says I'm not on his list, so I'm not getting too worked up about it, myself.
Meanwhile, I'm thinking that maybe I just need to get this puppy to chew this thing off my ear!

Have a great weekend everybody. Don't forget to watch Who Let The Dogs Out this morning on Animal Planet, and to join my bud @TillmanSkates (and me, if I wake up early enough) at his Twitter Viewing Pawty: #TillmanTV. The pawty's from 6-11am PDT. CLICK HERE to be eligible for the prize drawings he'll be doing all morning. 

Are the Puparazzi gone!?

Thanks for all the love!
