Ryan's gone to Colorado hunting with hardly any service and I noticed that Buck had a really swollen ear and he wouldn't stop scratching it on the ground. So I had to make the decision to load him up and get him to the vet. We learned that he needed surgery on the hematoma and that he needed to stay overnight. Poor Buck. Fynlie and I cried leaving him and then when I had to tell the big girls, they were pretty sad too. I got to pick him up the next day with a bandage around his head. Of course, he didn't leave that on like he was supposed to so I had to load him up the next day and take him back to get it checked. Everything is okay and he's on the mend. We've got to take care of our sweet 10 year old boy.
