Well, he could pass for one of the characters from the bar scene in Star Wars, but this is blind Zach after his surgery to remove the large growth on his head.
Our board-certified surgeon, Dr. Josie Mallinckrodt, did the surgery last week in Burlington on the day Darla was having her ophthalmology and internal medicine appointments. (Bentley was also there for the second phase of his heartworm treatment, and Wilbur was there for more blood pressure monitoring -- so a full day all the way around!)
I particularly liked the close-cropped head shave that goes right up to the long white fluffy ears. Stylish!
Josie has sent a biopsy to the pathologist and we should have the results this week. Meanwhile, Zach is happy to show off his new look for summer.
Zach, I am starting to fall in love with you. If someone doesn't snatch you up soon, we might have to!

It's a reverse mohawk, LOL. Stylish, indeed. What a cutie pie. Prayers going up for you, Zach!

What a little cutie! Sounds like you had your hands full on his surgery day, with all the vet visits!

I think that Zach could now be sporting the latest doggie haircut fashion trend! He is just adorable.
Hoping for good news on the biopsy!

Oh, poor baby! I hope he feels better with it gone. He looks a little Frankendog-ish. At least he doesn't have to wear the Cone of Shame. He will be even more adorable when the hair grows back!

Golly, from his first pics I would never have realized the mass was so large! He's going to be a totally cute dude when his hair grows back....not that he isn't totally cute now!

Zach looks cute that way! Nice and cool for summer, too....

Hopefully it's all benign. What a day you all had!!

Cute little Zach! I hope all comes back clean on the biopsy.

He's so cute and I bet he feels so much better without that bump there so close to his eyes. It doesn't seem like he needs his sight to know how adorable he is!
