The veterinarian called me this afternoon. The growth on Betty was a type of cancer. I don’t remember the name. It wasn’t one I’d ever hear of before. He said the biopsy showed he got all the cells. Anyway, she has a follow up from her surgery Monday so I can talk to him more about options then. #Boxer #BoxerMom #dogs #nostr #grownostr

Nearly an inch of rain fell between 8 and noon yesterday. Most from 11-12. So much flooding all around. Porch tomato is starting to earn its keep. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb  #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #summer #weather #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Mimosa tinctures started. One in glycerin, one in vodka. #holsteinhouse #wv #travel #bnb #tincture #mimosa #wellness #health #remedies

It has begun. Dehydrating chard and kale because I can’t eat it fast enough. LOL #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #spring #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Back from church. It was a good service. You should be there next week. Betty is feeling better today. I am thankful we managed to catch the infection before it killed her. She got some ice cream yesterday. We won’t know until the 14th about the growth on her chest. The spot looks much better already.

Good morning all y’all! It is beautiful out this morning! Right now it’s 70°F/21°C on the Holstein House front porch, in my part of Kanawha County, West Virginia, USA! Poultry, and garden all tended this morning. Church at 11:00 a.m. pictures here are strawberry, cabbage, Indigo Rose tomatoes, and Jersey Devil tomatoes. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #summer #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Good morning all y'all! Betty gets her surgery today. Gonna be nearly 2k. Insane but she's family to us and I would do the same for my human kids if needed. When we adopted her she had been so mistreated, and bred to the point of abuse. She has earned good medical care .

Good morning all y’all! Explosion of the cabbage plants brought explosion of cabbage caterpillars. I didn’t want cabbage but now that they are growing I guess I need to take care of them. Small handful of blueberries. Lots of green ones if I can save them. LOL #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb  #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #spring #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Our sweet Betty White, the 9-year-old Boxer, is scheduled for surgery and a biopsy this Thursday to remove a growth. We're all thinking of her and praying for a good outcome! Navigating these expensive medical journeys can be tough. Pray we get Betty back to her happy, playful self! ❤️ #BettyWhiteDog #BoxerLove #DogHealth #BoxerMom #SupportOurPets #FurryFriends #Dogs
