Camille was doing great until she developed an infection in the large incision on her backside.   We got more medication for her and she was responding great.   One night Rex was giving her medications when he noticed a large tumor on the roof of her mouth just behind her front teeth.   Back to the vet who said it was a common type of fast growing benign tumor but that it needed to come out.   We had to wait until the infection in her incision healed before we could have this newest tumor removed.    Camille had the stitches from her wart removals taken out on the 10 th and the staples on her backside removed and the tumor on the roof of her mouth removed on the 14 th .   Thankfully both tumors were benign and Camille has recovered nicely. Lots more friends and neighbors are returning in November and we have started our weekly Pegs and Jokers night with friends on Thursday nights.    Rex and a few guitar playing friends get together on Tuesday nights to play and learn from

Rex has been busy working with his partner, Charlie - they are washing park models and doing some handyman jobs.   He also has had a few jobs on the Desert Dwellers Express, the trackless train he works on occasionally.   Nancy has been enjoying a leisurely lifestyle before she starts back to work in November.   She has been going to water aerobics class in the mornings and enjoying walking the dogs around the resort during the day. Camille had surgery on the 31 st to remove a large fatty tumor on her backside beside her tail.   We have been watching it for a few years but this summer it grew a lot bigger and got somewhat harder.   Our veterinarian said it was pressing on her intestines and needed to be removed immediately.   They also removed about 8 warts that had gotten big and/or were getting infected where Camille was chewing on them.   She went through surgery fine and has staples down her backside and many stitches where they removed the warts.
