If you know me, you know Cooder, the spunky, lovable, and a little bit crazy mutt that has been my sidekick for years now.

In a heart-breaking visit to the vet last week, we found out that Cooder has a cancerous mass attached to his esophagus. We started our journey with a cancer specialist veterinarian this week, but he will require surgery as well as other treatments in the weeks to come.

Luckily, Cooder is not in pain and is otherwise happy and healthy with a lot of life left in him. Please help support him fight this diagnosis.

Thank you friends!
