I have learned about dogs since Simba and Buddha came into my life. Shiba Inus are typically very precise, clean, dainty and careful. Siberian Husky's are playful, hyper, wreckless and wild. My boys exhibit these personalities to the max. Buddha has not even turned a year old and already he was bitten by a dog and had to go in for emergency surgery. That nearly gave me a heart attack but he made it and life continued. However, over the months he has collided at full speed with other dogs, bloodied himself, and choked himself in a vain attempt to catch squirrels. This time I noticed a bump growing on his inner eyelid. At first it was nothing but after a few short weeks I realized that it was time to get it checked out. The vet said that it could be anything but that the best thing to do would be to surgically remove it. Before the surgery, I tried everything I could to soothe the bump, hoping that it was only irritation. I even placed a warm tea bag on it and he never complained once! Sadly, that did not work. Luckily, the surgery did work!! The biopsy showed no signs of cancer and Buddha returned to normal two weeks after the surgery.
