Toby had to go to the vet to have some cysts removed. In the process, they also removed his fur.

Now he looks an awful lot like me with patches of hair missing.

Mom, stop trying to take my picture already.
It looks like I have nipples on my back, and I don’t want anyone to see.
Where Toby used to be.
****************************
While we were at the vet’s office, I read to Toby from a copy of Poopiter that is in the waiting area. He seemed strangely interested when I pointed to the picture at the back of the book of Geordie and him sleeping. (Between nostalgia and the cost of the visit…I really teared up.)
The Adventures of Bitey Dog 
Awwww… Hershey and Winkie both had to have those surgeries, Winkie more than once. Tell Toby he can just say, “You should see the other guy!” if anyfur asks. He’ll be furry again in no time.
Ha ha! I’ll have to remember that!
A LEAST THEY HAVE LEFT YOU MOST OF YOUR FUR DEAR TOBY !!
FUR (FEAR!) NOT I WILL GROW BACK FAST! YOU CAN TELL FOLK YOUR PATCHES ARE YOUR BADGES OF COURAGE !! YOU WERE SUCH A BRAVE BOY !!
HUGSSS
Mommy says: Will mine grow back too? It’s starting to get chilly around here.”
Don’t worry, I demanded lots of Brave Boy Biscuits when I got home! – Toby
“Where Toby used to be”…HA!!! 😀
Oh, Toby, poor you! 😦 So sorry you had to have this done! We hope you heal well, smoothly, quickly. I know your fur (future fur-fetti! 😉 ) will grow back fluffy and furry soon! Yep, mom’s take THE most embarrassing photos sometimes! 😮
We send gentle pats and rubs to you.
(((HUGS))) for your mom, too!
And ❤️❤️ for both of you!
Mom says I need to grow some fur back before she sends me to the groomer. (Any suggestions on how I can stay nekkid?😳)
I think the groomer will understand no matter what your fur condition. 😉
Ha! Staying nekkied, eh? Just choose to wear your birthday suit every day?!
Eat more carrots and pumpkin. Oh, wait, that’s for good eyes and other stuff. But, hey, it wouldn’t hurt. 😉 😀 😛
There are so many opportunities here for a bon mot but 98% of them would get me banned from the site or removed forever from your Xmas list. I think I’ll just let this one pass sans comment. But I really had to bite my tongue.
What the heck. Write them anyway! 😂
Uh uh. Nope. Not gonna do it.
Say it in French. Then it won’t count.
Trust me, it makes you look distinguised.
Not many pups look like me right now. 😆
Oh Tobster! You will always be quite hammy-some and terribly digni-pied! And we lub you maneee!
Hammy, you say? No wonder everyone loves me!
And you smell good too!
Poor Toby and poor you watching the dollars fly away!
Ach, to me, that part hurt the most!
Owie! hopefully the beautiful hair will grow back soon!
It will grow back faster than mom’s. Mwahahaha! – Toby
