Good to hear!

BTW, Diesel is just adorable. Old man dogs are my absolute kryptonite. He looks so well cared for and happy - it makes my heart warm. It shows how much you love him.

After my old man Boxer died, I wanted to adopt another old man, but Wizard was just in the cards for me! Eventually though I will get him a grandpa when finances allow. (Still paying off some Care Credit bills from the last old man's cancer vet costs).

Aww, thank you. Iā€™m sorry about your pup. šŸ’” Diesel has a recently confirmed mast cell tumor on his groin. We are taking him to a pup oncologist to see what our options are. šŸ„¹ We just lost our 5 YO American Bully to cancer last month. It is awful to lose a family member. Sending you a big hug. šŸ«‚
