We took Roper up to the clinic in Gilbert earlier this week for an evaluation of the area on his jaw where the soft tissue sarcoma was removed. When we got there Roper knew exactly where he was and remembered he didn't like it. He's usually very easy to work with and willing to go along to get along. Not what he had planned for the day and certainly not at the vet. It took 4 determined people to literally push and pull his reluctant body to the exam area. Should have parked closer that's for sure......!!! LOL
After examination, Dr. Howard says he thinks the lump is actually scar tissue rather than a return of the cancer. It hasn't envaded his mouth, although he did have a sore from a sharp tooth. So to add insult to injury he also got a dental work over.
The black area is actually dark pigment and the sore is just above there. The inside of an equine mouth looks really weird to me and they aren't ever interested in letting you get a good look to figure out how it all works. So, the only time I look is at the vet clinic.
We are on wait and watch, to see what happens over time. We will do whatever is necessary to have a good outcome for him.
Work is still being done to finish the storage/office/store. It's down to the little finishing touches, except for the shelves in the store room. We're having a lot of fun with that particular project. Figuring out what we need to do the job isn't as easy as I thought it would be.......!! LOL
Suzanne set this up temporarily until John gets the display cases painted. If someone comes out and wants to see t-shirts, books or stuffies. everything has been piled up in one of the bathrooms and we would have to dig thru to find what they wanted to look at. This way they can at least see what's available and it will be easier for us to find since the boxes and totes aren't piled up 4 or 5 high.
Suzanne is at SanDam this week-end with 9 donkeys. Usually she would be keeping us up to date on what's happening and how it's going.........BUT.........she is in a dead zone for communications and there is NO COMMUNICATIONS. They had an obstacle course event last night and the race was to start this morning at 8am. Hopefully she'll get a chance to let us know what's happening, otherwise guess we'll find out when she gets home, tomorrow afternoon.
HEADED OUT TO SANDAM........!!!!

Maybe John could make a rod of some kind to hang a sample of the different t shirts on. The building sure looks nice.
