June 21, 2018, we got the ultrasound results. There was no indication in the ultrasound pictures to indicate that there was any cancer in Twister’s foot. The scratches on his neck are gone. He’s healthy and as strong as an ox. The veterinarians and technicians agreed.

Now all we need to do is to keep a close watch on his foot. In about three months another ultrasound will be performed to make sure that Twister ‘s foot is okay. In the meantime, we’ll walk Twister  with a leash until the backyard is Twister-friendly.

Twister’s not too happy with the arrangement. He’s used to inspecting the yard on his own, but we are concerned that he might reinjure himself. We suspect that he knocked down the pile of firewood on the firewood rack and the bricks we had stacked on the back side of the shed.( I  have no idea how he knocked down the stack of firewood and the bricks.  I suppose  he saw something move, such as a lizard,  and then relentlessly dug into the stack of firewood until it landed  on the side of the shed. Then he continued to dig until he made bigger holes. The same story probably happened to the toppled bricks. In this case, Twister made a large hole, trying to get to a possum.)

 Our yard is now Twister-friendly. The shed is patched. The bricks have been moved to another spot. The area around the shed is clear. But, we probably need to replace the shed. Should it be replaced with one made out of resin, wood, or steel? Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your prayers.
