Umbogo

Catching up.

The dog of my parents. Umbogo, swahili for buffelo. He turned 12 on the 1st of October. The last days of September he was loosing too much weight and lost all his energy. Half a year back they found a tumor on his liver. They can't really do much apart from medication. When my parents took him to the vet here in Wales they got some antibiotics and other medication and now he's almost the old one again!
He is almost like a Rasterferion. Fav

@thresheg thanks Graham, it's a Bouvier des Flandres, also jokingly called 'Vuilbaard', meaning 'Dirty Beard'.
