I was picking Nicola up from Circus this evening when I got a frantic phone call from Trev. He asked me where I was & then told me to get straight back home because there was something wrong with Addy.
When I asked him what happened, in a very worried voice he explained it all to me.
When he came home Addy had gone to the toilet & got himself covered, as sometimes happens with dogs. So Trev brought him out the back to clean him off. Trev is not very good at things like that & he was nearly sick all over the poor animal. As if he wasn’t bad enough.
He kept going though until he had Addy almost clean. That’s when he found a lump. A large black lump. He got really very scared & rang me straight away to get me to come home. He said I would have to contact the vet.
I got Nic & raced out to the car. I had to stop at the shop to get something & when I got back to the car the phone was going off. Terrified Nic answered it & Trev asked her to put me on. My heart was in my mouth. I thought he was going to tell me that Addy had gotten very sick or something. But this is not what he had to tell me at all.
He said “It’s ok, you don’t need to rush back, he’s ok.” I asked him how could this be if he has a big black lump?
He then told me that it wasn’t a lump. It was Addys testicles. He hadn’t noticed them before so he got a fright when he seen them. I just started roaring laughing. The poor dog, I know that those things get the male of the species in trouble, but I wouldn’t go as far as to call them cancerous.
Poor Trev, I love him to bits, but he really wasn’t top of the que when they were handing out the brains. hahaha
