Well we went to see him and the minute we took him into the visiting room and put food on the floor he consumed every last bit of it. He was clearly very happy to see us. Tail wagging to the extent we almost had to leave him alone in the room to avoid risk of injury to my wife and I! The doc came in, said he was doing very well. He also suggested since he ate, take the little guy home. Rocky was thrilled with that news as well.
Rocky is now home with us. He has been drinking a lot and he was acting great. I say was because we were instructed to give him a pain pill as soon as we got home. Now I know what Rocky would look like drunk! He's been a little wobbly so now it's time for he and Mom to sit quietly on the couch (his favorite place to be). I know there is no way I can come up with any logical reason why I should also participate in this rest and relaxation session, which is the first of many I'm sure, so I guess it's yard work for me.
Thanks again to all for everyone's concern, support and best wishes. Now we await the results of the tests on the tumor. Thanks again folks!
