John Henry

Saturday, John Henry broke his leg.

And, you know, a ten-year-old Rottweiler does not break his femur right up next to his hip bone while running in his backyard unless there's something else going on. John Henry has bone cancer. Has had it for awhile, apparently. He hasn't really shown any outward signs of it, although several little things now make sense.

Many tests were done. They can't see cancer elsewhere (though there are no guarantees of course). So, yesterday they removed his left rear leg. He's doing great so far. I will get to see the new John Henry this afternoon.

We'll see how it goes from here...
