Well today Cricket and I went to the vet.  Cricket had her 3rd series of shots.  She weighed a whopping 3lbs and 3 oz.  I went to have a fat tumor which is on my left side checked out, which is now bigger than a grapefruit.  Mom would love to have it removed, but with my previous liver problems and my age, I stand a big chance of not coming through the surgery.  The vets said that we can just leave the tumor as long as it is not bothering me, which it isn't.  It just looks bad this big old lump hanging off my side.  It is really noticable as I have lost so much weight.  Last January I weighed in at 74lbs, now I am down to 65lbs.  I am wasting away. Mom says when she massages me all she can feel is bones.  My muscle is slowly leaving.  About five years ago I weighed 89lbs.  The good news is my heart and lungs are in great shape fo my age.
