We headed to the flooring place in Ossett after taking Max to the vet (more about this in a moment) and found some nice silver / grey laminate that will look spot on with the cabinetry that we are having in the room along with the tiles etc of course.  We agreed with the kitchen and bathroom fitters that they would do it for us (for a few beer tokens) while they fit the actual other stuff in the bathroom, so we have an all round win 🙂

So, onto Max – well he has had a little lump on his bottom (OK so actually just above his ring piece) for a while now, but we noted that it has grown significantly in the last 2 to 3 weeks – as much as 2 to three times the size today that it was after Christmas.  So, Margaret took a look after Tim made the appointment, and she concluded that it was likely to grow more before bursting at some point as the skin thinned as it grew, and it woud make a real mess when it burst 🙁  She recommended its’ removal and stated that it ‘felt’ like it should be pretty straightforward to remove.  She then commented on how it was likely caused by excess testosterone in his body and then quickly suggested whipping off his nads while he was under (gulp!) 🙁  Poor Brown – thankfully he did not hear about the loss of his jewels so we will keep that as a little secret that he will find out in due time…  He is going back in on Monday for the swift ‘op’ so he will have two more fully intact days – let’s hope there is no fun poking fromPepsi later next week :-s
