Padfoot is alive. He withstood the operation and he is coming home to me in about an hour. I will write more when I can. Thanks to everybody (I will thank you all individually when I get past this) for all your lovely words and thoughts (and thanks to Fiwa for her post which prompted so many of her friends, previously unknown to me, to take the trouble to write) - it helped him pull through this at least.
Pad is still very ill..........but he's alive!!! X
P.S. The news is that they did not find any tumours in or around his gut - however, his organs were nearly all not where they were supposed to be (Christ knows how that happened) and his liver is enlarged. They did, however, find a large mass on/around his lungs. I am awaiting the results of a biopsy and we will then know how/if to proceed. We think it is a tumour and, if inoperable, we could try chemotherapy. He is virtually unconscious still - it has really taken it out of him - but he is comfortable. The other dogs are really down and worried about him (bless!!). I'm trying to get him to eat something. Well, it's now about 3am and he's asleep but I'm not. Sleep does not come easy these days.
P.P.S. I've found a month's work and so the wolf has been shooed away from the door for the time being at least. This is real Gloria Gaynor time for both of us!!!

Get the fire roaring and the cushion ready! I can't wait to hear what they found, but of course, take all the time in the world and hug that boy for me. Gently.
if he was closer, my dogs would share a beefbone with him tonight.
so glad for this good news.
big hugs all around, huge ones, hope he's doing OK

Good news about the work. Great that PF's fighting his corner. Everything crossed for you both, hope you can get some sleep you have done a fantastic job for the lad.
I hope today is a better day for him. Poor puppy - they look so vulnerable with their bellies shaved.
Glad to hear about the work, that's good news. Hope you can nap over the weekend and relax some yourself.
lovins,

I've just got in - very late, sorry _ and Owen has just spent five minutes running around, bumping into things, woofing loudly and senselessly.
Does that make him a Padfoot tribute act?
Glad to hear about Pad putting up a good fight - like his dad, eh?!
And good news about the job.
Still thinking of you all.
Love and best wishes as ever,
Big Ears
Hang in there Padfoot and Daddy!
Im hoping today isa better day for Padfoot.
