Me alarm clock?

Yesterday my M woke up late for work. I try to wake her up to go workie. I lickie lick her toe, she keep her toe. I lickie lick her hand, she keep her hand. I try to tell her, you late, go workie! But she ignore me. Then she was late.

My MM said he changed the time on the alarm clock and forgot to tell her. I say next time dun use alarm, use me! Me a veri good alarm clock!

My big brother Herbie is still sickie. He dun wanna play with me so much. I lickie his mouth but he never get up to play. My M says she dun know what to do now. I hope he gets better coz I wanna play with him.

Play with me!


(M: I'm not sure what to do next with Herbie. All tests came back inconclusive. The 1st vet is certain it's lymphoma (by process of eliminating other causes) and suggests starting him on chemo, but I'm quite reluctant. She also felt that another biopsy will not help much as the pathologist said that the tissue sample is a good one. By the way, the pathologist is unable to release the slides. They say that human cells are a little different from animal cells, and a human pathologist won't have anything for comparison even if he reads the slides.

So now here I am, stuck between a rock and a hard place. Should I start on chemo, and risk that the lumps are not cancerous? Should I not start on chemo, but what if it's cancer and I'm delaying his treatment. Should I get a third opinion, and confuse myself further? Should I do another biopsy, will it help?

I don't know if I'm being paranoid now, as in, Herbie has always been lazy and slow, but recently I seem to think he's a lot more slower. I don't know if he's always been like that, or am I starting to imagine things and looking at his slowness with another perspective, and I keep thinking it's his cancer making him tired.

He's still begging, but now he's a little more choosy. He won't eat certain fruits while in the past he will just gobble things up. Now he will sniff before deciding if he wants to eat it. And I start thinking if it's cancer making him lose his appetite.

He plays lesser now. Every little expression of his, every movement (or lack of) that he makes, I keep thinking is it cancer making him behave this way.

I tell myself to wait another week and observe, but I keep fearing that I'm delaying his treatment and he will slowly deteriorate. Any advise?
