Tess the Leper OR the boo boo must go!

Hi hi everyone, it's me Tess. Well I have to leave the pack tomorrow morning. I'll be spending the day at the vet having the growth on my ear removed. The vet called today to say that they found some bacteria in a few of the cells. This bacteria is like leprosy and could spread if they don't remove it. B & D think it's best to go ahead with the procedure even though chances are it would be ok. Of course my ear will never be the same......

Willow: What.....what's this Tess. Is the boo boo finally going?
Tess: Yep Willow. Don't worry. I'll be ok. She better give me a bloody treat this time.......
Lucy: Can I have your breakfast tomorrow morning?
Tess: LUCY MY EAR IS GETTING CHOPPED
Lucy: Geez...drama queen
Tess: sigh......

D: Tess is having the growth removed Thursday morning. It's just a precaution as we don't want the bacteria to spread.

Noah: Hello.....my blog here!!!!!....geez
Well maties, I have the very best news. Remember all the protesting I've been doing regarding the koalas being caged indoors? Well WE WON the battle. The Land & Environment Court have said NO to the developer's request to house poor koalas indoors. They actually based their decision on a technicality rather than the welfare of the koalas but the end result is a good one.



The last item on our agenda is that D is going on her annual girlie weekend this Friday with her school chums. This year they are off to Noosa Heads, a beach side tourist town in Queensland. The weather is really warm up there so D has to pack her summer clothes. Summer clothes = white body....crikey. If anyone is in the vicinity of Noosa this weekend, wear sunglasses. Her whiteness is blinding!


So we'll be back next week. Have a good week & weekend everyone.
Catch ya all later,

Noah the koala saving dog xx

Egads, leprosy! That does not sound good. Get that sucker gone quick Tess, you don't want to be an outcast. I hope they don't chop too much of your ear though - you have rather nice ones.

Wish D a happy holiday with the girls.
cheers,
Ruby

We'll be thinking of you tomorrow, Tess. We're sure everything will be just fine but Dog Dad is right - the boo boo must go!
Good job on the Koala front. Our Mama loves the little cuties :)

Sally Ann and Andy said...

Hi Tess,
I'm sorry your ear has a boo-boo. When I was a born, my ears were a funny shape. So now, I have funny shaped ears. It's OK to have ears that are shaped a bit differently. I hope everything goes well at VET. Noah, I'm glad you saved the koalas.

Unknown said...

Wow nice work and great news for the koalas. Now for Tess... work it up Tess. That's a dramatic event being separated for a night for... surgery! I mean, you deserve treats, time in the bed, extra walks. I bet everyone will miss you.

Those flesh eating bugs are terrible. Glad you got rid of it so it didn't spread. SO glad that you guys won against the dastardly Koala caging people. Yippee!! Good work.
Smooches,
BabyRD & Hootie

ps-HOpe D has a great reunion.

We are sending some paw hugs for Tess.

Yahoo on winning against the Koala people. Caging animals is wrong.

Love -
