I was particularly excited tonight because I got to start out my weekend with a super special walkie...just me & Mom. Out on the town alone! Yahooooie!!
I still have to sit at every intersection, but who cares! Let's go Mom! 
I've got Pee-mail to spread over the whole neighborhood!
We walked about 10 minutes then ended up at this place...the NICE people live here !
I love going to my V.E.T. ! They're super nice there. They call me a sweet old man...I prefer mature, but whatever gets me treats is fine with me. Mom was a little worried about some of the "big-boned" tumors I have. I've heard the humans call them Fatty but the F word is not allowed in my presence.
So I had a stoopid stick shoved up my butt (my temp is normal) and I had to get on the scale. Mom almost fell over when it read 58.8 lbs but that was b/c I was squirming a bit (OK...a LOT). When she made me sit, it registered at a svelte 54.4 lbs...a whole .4 lbs than my last weigh in. I rock! I've figured out how to diet AND eat chicken backs till my heart's content. In fact, I should have MORE chicken backs to get me back to my normal weight.
I have 4 Big Boned tumors. The special lady doctor said I'm handsome (and I AM) & checked me over real good. She felt around all of my rippling muscles and gave me a massage. But then, she took out a needle and made Mom snuggle on my head. The needle was like 24 inches long and she stuck it in my Biggest Boned tumor...and I screamed. Mom said I sounded like a little girl but whatever...it hurt.(And Dot...I was very TUFF, I assure you...Mom lies.) Special Lady Doctor confirmed that it was just a BB tumor and I don't have to worry about it any more.
I do have a little bitty NON big boned tumor that the special lady wants to remove & send to the CIA for proof of my Pawesomeness but they have to do a bunch of blood work first to ensure my liver and kidneys and heart are A-OK...which I'm sure they SUPER STRONG. That'll be in a couple of weeks.
So, I'll have to get that funny laughie juice and will sleep for a while and get lots of snuggles and special treatment afterward. That doesn't sound so bad.
Oh and I have to have a toof cleaned up then too. Feel the love, my man Joe Stains.

oh dog a 24 INCH NEEDLE, I cried a little just reading that! We are glad it was mostly good news that you got. I can't believe you have to get the teefs cleaned too, I am not looking forward to my consultation.
What a special day for you indeed! Oh no, your teefies are gonna get cleaned out too? Hope it won't be too painful.
Love licks,
Solid Gold Dancer
Yowsa! That needle sounds bad. Glad to hear that your bony troubles haven't intefered with food consumption. Good luck with those laughie drugs.

Wow- you actually LIKE going to the vet? Even after the 24 inch needle incident??
Man, you are BRAVE!
Oh my dog......a 24 inch needle? I think I would've fainted! I have a huge big-boned tumor on my hip. I had one of those needles stuck in it last year but the good doctor said I was just fine. But since then, I have lotsa bumps all over my sore, achey body. It's the pits getting old.
Peace + Paws,
Kai
Wow! That's some needle! I would still be screaming! You're getting the whole over-haul! You're going to be all spiffy for the Valentine's day pawty!
Love ya lots,
Maggie
Sherman,
Lola here. I had a vet appointment this week too. Sorry to hear about the next step in your adventure. Sounds like your Mom will make it up to you, though. Remember to look extra sad to maximize the attention and good things! Keep us posted so we can send good doggie vibes your way.
Woo Woo to you,
Lola

Oh I so understand your pain with that stick thing. I had a pee pee issue and that had to be check b/c I got an infection. I'm better now, I get organic cranberry juice in my water. It's pretty good and I feel better too! We're sending you some good husky vibes and hope you feel better too. Now about this teeth cleaning thing, I don't know. I'll wait to see what you have to say about this.
Husky Hugs, MayaMarie
SOunds like you had a very thorough check-up....I had to get one of those BB tumors taken out last year...it was no big deal...
Woo woo, Kelsey Ann
Wow--I'd scream like a girl, too! Glad to hear you were so brave and that you love your vet. Good luck with the follow-up, and promise to keep us posted!
You are one tough pawsome dog. I could not manage any of that.
I am impressed.
Pippa
That needly scares out. You were so brave. We are really glad it wasn't anything serious and you were so lucky to get to go on walkies with Mom all by yourself...

Oh jeez! You poor Shermanator! I'm sure it was your MOM who was SCREAMING. I hope the CIA sends back evidence confirming your AWESOMENESS (which is obvious--stupid CIA) and that you have NO PROBLEMS. My ma ape's eyes get all watery whenever the v-e-t mentions the C word. What a wuss.
wally.
ps. Don't tell him but I like going to the v-e-t, too!
Happy weekend, woofies!
Concatulations on the teef cleanin' ... I have heard that it's not the most fun that you can have at the v-e-t, but the results are nice (your parents will let you kiss them more, right?).
DMM
I think that needle would have made me throw up, but not you. You're so tough Shermie. I'm sure that all those tests are just going to say you're pawsome but I already know that.
Love,
Dot-Spot
24 inch needle? Oh lord ... your vet is crazy!
Ike

I hope you got treats after THE NEEDLE!
Hey Doggies. IT's award time, and you won! Pick them up at IzziesWorld!
The crazy old lady says don't get mixed up with the CIA. They are just a bunch of loons. Sherman, you ROCK!
I hope that the 24 inch needle was only one time thing.
Yikes Shermie! That needle sounds horrible..but I"m sure you took it all like the big man you are...Glad you are OK....Are you gonna let Penny & Lola be nurses & take care of you?
Love & Licks,
Randi

P.S. I don't mind having the stick put in my butt. Does that make me weird??
OH my dogness! They put a stick in your butt then attacked you with a 24 inch needle and you still like them?? Eeek! You're a brave, brave dog.
ECHO

wet wet licks
Boo
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! A 24 inch needle is almost bigger than me. I would have screamed my head off if they put that in me. You are a very brave one.
Hey Sherman, it sounds like you were very brave. After you get the other one removed, you should try to get LOTS of attention and lots of treats too.
Your friend, Lenny
You are very very brave!
~ChaChi and JET
Hey Sherm, I can't believe you actually LIKE going to the vet. Maybe I could get you to go in my place for my next appointment? I could paint you white and they'd barely notice the difference between us. Worth a try. J x
oh sweet dog, a 24 inch needle, I am so sorry Sherman, I am also late posting a reply to you, "hang my head in shame"......
I hope the tumours can be removed ok, I had my fatty lumps removed at Christmas, it is a good time for getting lotsa luv, Sherman, take my word for it,
Healing licks to you my friend, paws across the ocean.
love and healing love, Marvin xxxx
Oh, no, a long needle. We don't like needles. They make Jan hurt and she isn't even the one getting them.
We hope you are okay.
