LA Adventures, or, “How Nike Went Bald”

While grooming Nike last Thursday, I found several large growths on his chest.  As they were slightly worrisome, we went to our vet in Los Angeles (we haven’t bothered to get a new vet yet) to have them removed.

Nike's Surgery (6)

While we were waiting for Nike’s surgery, Liam and I met up with friends from work at our favorite Mexican/El Salvadorian restaurant, Gloria’s. 

We then spent the afternoon at the beach with Rushton and Julie. We had loads of fun.

Nike wouldn’t be ready until the evening, so Julie graciously invited us over for dinner with the sister missionaries.  Luckily, this time Liam wasn’t afraid. Just cranky. But then again, Rushton kept stealing his binky and toys, so I don’t blame Liam for being a little on edge.

We made it home without incident.  Well, all except Nike.  Luckily, he had benign fatty growths. But he’s still the one who had his chest hair replaced with staples.
