Poor Georgie

I had to take George to the vet this morning after we noticed him limping on our walk yesterday.  Turns out he probably just has a sprain...we're putting off xrays for a couple of weeks to see if anti-inflamatories work first.  While the doc was examining his leg, I was petting him and noticed a lump--about the size of a quarter--near his tail.  He ended up getting a biopsy...fortunately the tumor is benign.  We also found out he has gingivitis and will have to be put under anesthesia for a deep dental cleaning.  It's my fault for not brushing his teeth enough :(.  To top it all off, he got his shots.  Poor poor Georgie!

No fun! Tug actually just had a dental cleaning today and 3 teeth pulled. (b/c I gave up and don't brush her teeth at all anymore...she just will NOT let us...plus pugs are prone to bad teeth.) But she's doing great now! Her teeth are white as can be and her breath smells great ($466 later) :)
