Rascal

I've noticed that Rascal seems to be losing a little bit of weight. He is twelve & I know that older dogs lose muscle mass on their hind quarters (which he has) but this is around his ribs. He's been eating as usual & is his normal bouncy, happy self but we took him to the vet last night just to be sure.
The vet said there's a possibility of diabetes or kidney problems (he did have a kidney problem a few years ago). So we took him this morning for a fasting blood test & they're going to ring us with the results this evening or tomorrow.
I'm trying to stay calm but I worry about him so much - he's everything to us.

I seem to be having some email problems, or possibly just lj not sending me the comment notifications, so if you're waiting to hear from me about something then please let me know.

Thanks so much for all the support, folks - I really do appreciate it.

Oh, & I've just registered for the Race For Life again this year. This is a huge fundraiser for Cancer Research UK, with venues all over the country. I'm running at Sandwell Valley on 4th June. As always, I'll be running in memory of my beloved Nan who we lost to leukaemia seven years ago.
