Oliver's unexpected tail surgery 

My Son introduced us to your channel a few years ago while we were going through our own journey with our beloved beagle. We had our amazing beagle for 16 years. Never dreamed of ever owning a beagle, but our lives were incredibly changed forever the day we brought her home. Her markings and personality are remarkably similar to Oliver. While I would never change any of our incredible journey, we too went through some challenging medical “sagas” starting at age seven including a baseball-sized tumor (survived 9 years longer), kidney issues (survived 8 years longer), 7 non-cancerous growths (similar to the ones on Oliver’s tail and paw), and eventually cancer on her lower jaw (which she survived for 4 healthy years after treatment). At the time, they are all frightening and traumatic for both you and the dog…but they are such amazing and resilient creatures. You obviously love and care for Oliver deeply, which comes through in all your videos. I hope that Oliver continues to live and long and happy life. Thank you for sharing your channel with us.

Aww sweet little buddy. I’m glad you got him an inflatable. ETA: you guys are such amazing beagle dads. I know that was all heartbreaking. I’m so sorry for everything Oliver and you all have been through. Take it one day at a time! You can do this, Oliver! It was reassuring to see him drinking like normal at the end.

Sweet Oliver, I wish you a full tail recovery. No matter what happens, I and your thousands of fans will love you.

Cute boy

Poor Oliver looked so sad lying there on the couch, but I think that eating lunch really perked him up. He was even jumping onto the side of the counter, looking for more food. I am glad that he is recovering well, and I do hope he gets to keep his beautiful tail. But even he if he has to lose his tail, you will still have him. I love you, sweet Oliver, and I am sending you lots of hugs and kisses.❤❤😘🤗🐶🐕

Aah poor sweet Oliver. Thank goodness they were benign. Bless his heart😘😘😘😘💕Much love to all of you. I get your emotions Oliver is your fur baby.❤

i've been watching your channel on and off for past few years, and this video made me tear up. i'm glad you take care of him so well, this sweet creature couldn't have dreamt of better dog-parents. best wishes for Oliver and all good boys out there

So glad Oliver will be ok. Keep in mind, he shows joy just by loving on you guys.

I just looove Oliver's "thoughts"!! I think they are really quite authentic. Get well fast, you little laid back guy! 🥰

Tell dad you need extra treats while you're recovering from surgery! Hoping you feel better soon, Oliver!

Oh no Oliver, glad he is ok. Miss seeing his adorable face❤

Sweet boy! I love this channel! I rescued beagles for many years ago-one, Elvis, helped me through my husband’s sickness (brain cancer), the early years of widowhood, and my initial journey through tonsil cancer-Elvis seemed to know his mama was sick. Elvis died a couple years ago-at the beginning of my second and current battle with cancer-this time, chemotherapy for the remainder of my life. I am too fragile to have another furbaby but live among other ones in my apartment building. Seeing videos such as yours really makes me smile. Glad Oliver is on the mend! 🐶🐾💕 -Tamara in Michigan

I had a dog that got bumps on her tail that never went away. The vet told me it happens when she wagged and bumped it against other objects like the coffee table. The dog wasn't bothered by them, no talk about removing them. I could squeeze white creamy discharge out of the bumps every so often which in return did make them grow bigger. She lived just fine regardless. Talk about a skinny tail, my dog was an afghan hound, with a tail like a whip. Blessings to Oliver and hoping he has a full tail recovery. 😇🥰 Some dogs get benign fatty tumors. You were very smart to remove the one on his paw while it was still smallish.

Dearest Oliver, Have a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹 Lots of love and cuddles ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Take care, my favorite beagle!❤

Oh, no!

Prayers for Oliver ❤

Prayers for Ollie and the family

Наш милый Оливер! Чудесный пес❤ Желаем ему здоровья🙏🙏🙏

Good Evening Oliver and Dads, Missing You Guys alot. Oliver, Oh NO Surgery and You will be alright Prayers for a Full Recovery and getting back to Yourself again 🙏. Oliver deserves Toast/Peanut Butter and Thanks for Sharing Dads, Blessings 🙌 ❤️🥰😇🐕 From Pennsylvania,USA

Poor little Oliver. He looks fed up with the whole ordeal and just wants his lunch. I know that he’ll pull through just fine. Thank God for the work the vets do and that they are there to care for our pets when we can’t.

I and Rufus are so glad that Oliver is doing well from surgery...Oliver looks great though..Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery for you Oliver...Rufus and I love you...

Oliver ❤❤❤❤❤🐾🐾❤ qué gusto verte 😍 Saludos desde México. Saludos a tus papás. Te mando muchos cariños Oliver, te quierooooo 👋✌👏👍 Que te mejores Oliver, no te preocupes tienes unos papás que te quieren y te cuidan mucho. Besos 💋 🐾 💋 🐾 💋

I've missed seeing Oliver. I'm glad its not anything too serious with the lumps. I know he's in the best care with you guys 😊.

Get well soon sweet boy.❤

Poor Oliver! 😔 You both must be so upset. I am praying for a full recovery. Love, hugs, and kisses to this sweet boy!! ❤❤❤❤

Oh, no, poor Oliver! :( :( I'm so sorry he - and Scott & Wayne - have to go through this. I'm sure all your friends are sending our love and hopes for a full recovery.

I weep with you, I did when our vet told us our "Mikey" was diagnosed with CHF (congestive heart failure) which eventually took him. They are our babies we love them as members 1o1f our family! Nothing wrong with a man weeping! I do and I'm not ashamed!

Poor baby.

I'm glad it wasn't any worse. Please keep us in the loop! Much love to all three of you.

Sweet boy. Get better soon. I know you are in good hands.

Those Kong collars are so much more comfortable post op than the "cone of shame" usually issued. For our beagles, it's easier to get in and out thru the doggie door. Get well soon Oliver! Healing vibes coming from your beagle cousins Andy, Cooper, Daisy and Emerson.

Oliver, wishing you a speedy recovery!! Glad the cysts were benign. Hoping for good news on his tail! 🐶

Brave dog Oliver.

Poor Oliver praying for a speedy recovery. God Bless 🙏🏻

Dear Oliver & Dads, wishing Oliver a speedy recovery! Shame so sorry to hear of Oliver's surgery - what an ordeal to have to go through. Oliver you are such a good brave boy. You are handling this like a champ! You will heal soon! Glad to see you are still enjoying your food - a good sign & still counter surfing. We all love you very much!!! Sending love & comfort & healing energy. All your fans around the world are holding you!! Xx ❤

Oh sweet Oliver! Glad he’s on the mend! ❤🐶🤗🫶🏾

Poor baby. Thank God it is not cancerous. Love you Oliver

Oliver, we’re so sorry. 😢. Hope you are feeling better now. Hugs &Kisses to you Oliver. I’m crying too.

Poor Oliver I hope you recover soon 🥺😭❤️❤️‍🩹🙏

We love the puppy!! Special sweetie!

So glad that he's going to be okay, and Dad, too!

Hi guys. I have had two beagles, Sugar & Casey. Casey had the same problems as Oliver is having. She also had one cyst on her toe. When I first saw Oliver’s spot I recognized it. The ones on Casey’s foot & leg healed beautifully. The one on her tail healed also but hair did not grow back. Being a beagle, she learned to eat & drink with her satellite dish on (cone). The neighborhood kids called her the satellite dog. My King Charles spaniel, Lexie, had to wear a collar. I found one that fit her perfectly. It was bigger than the one Oliver has on. She could sleep & eat with it on. The strap was tighter than Oliver’s. I got it either at petsmart or pet supermarket. Sorry for the long comment but I surely understand what y’all are going through. Since my husband died of Covid in 2020 I have not had another dog. I still cry about my puppies that passed over Rainbow Bridge. Love & prayers to the three of you. ❤❤

Oliver is so cute even after the surgery. It's certain he will recover really quickly. Get well soon Oliver !!

He knows you're talking about him and WHAT you're talking about. He's sad - but such a sweetheart.

I would cry for Oliver’s tail too

Praying for speedy recovery Oliver. Lots of love

Poor little Oliver. Lots of support to Oliver and Dads that his tail will be okay. Fortunately the lumps were benign. He's a little groggy after his surgery but seeing how he became energized after eating by leaping up to the counter for more food after having eaten is a good sign. Loved Oliver's wink at the end. Hoping to hear good news on Monday and throughout his recovery. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🐕🐕🐕

Dear Oliver and dads, wishing him a good recovery! Your love and care is the best! ❤

God bless you darling Oliver! You will be well very soon ❤❤❤ Your daddy loves you and so do all your fans!! I had a Beagle that got little growths a few times, usually just a wart. I will pray for a quick recovery. You are so loved and so well taken care of! You're lucky to have such a great family! ❤❤

Oliver, I and my dogs wishes you a fast recuperetion and health , much health!!! Be good soon! Give us notices, please. I'll pray for you 😢

Poor baby. At least he has two great parents. He is such a doll!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'm so happy to see he's okay, sweet little Oliver, sending lots of love ❤

Get well soon Oliver. You have the best Dad. ❤

Oh my gosh, poor Oliver!!! So glad it wasn’t cancerous and he has you guys, you both take such good care of him. Scout and I wish him a very smooth and speedy recovery!❤❤

Good boi, Oliver! Sadly, at 5 months old my gsd pup had to have his eye removed. I cried for 2 days. My pup was happy the whole time...probably even more after his bad eye was removed. So, even if Oliver loses part of his tail, he will be soooo happy to be with you and healthy ❤

Aww, poor baby dog. You got this, Oliver, Steve, and Wayne.

Oliver is so precious. We had a beagle that we had to put to sleep due to kidney failure this last October. He would have been sixteen this last February. It’s no fair they don’t get a longer life.

We have a beagle that will be 15 in October and has several growths on her body. Some dogs seem to be prone to growths as they age. Many are benign and can get quite large. Our vet checks them often. They can sometimes be cancerous. I pray Oliver's tail will heal and be wagging for many happy years to come! Blessings to all of you!♥

Poor baby! Will diffently say a prayer & keep yall in my thoughts.

Ooh...poor Baby. Glad he's doing better. 👍 We Love You, Oliver❣️🐾💕😘

Oliver is lucky to have his humans to take care of him. Get well soon Oliver. Prayers for Oliver and his family. 💗

Best wishes to Oliver and to his dads Scott and Wayne as well! Wishing for a speedy recovery.

poor guy looks so tired

My Blue Beagle and I are praying for you Oliver. Hang in there ❤

Oh, what a blow for all of us! Sending best wishes and lots of virtual hugs. Will need regular updates!

Get well soon little Oliver 🐶 greetings from Germany 👍🏼👩🏼

Sending warm, healing wishes to all of you. Someone once described a dog’s tail as “a metronome of happiness”. Your emotions are so very relatable. We know Oliver is incredibly loved no matter what. Stay well!

We are all here for you guys!! Oliver isn’t just your dog, in a way he is all of our dog! Thank you for keeping us informed about Oliver and his recovery! It’s great to see that he still has his attitude intact! We love you guys! Get well soon Oliver, there’s squirrels that need chasing! ❤️

My beagle Zeke had several of those as well. Poor sweetheart Oliver!

Scott & Wayne: We’ve been watching Oliver ever since C19 started and he’s brought so many smiles to our lives. Growing up, I had a beagle that had a short tail (his dog mom stepped on it when he was a newborn and it just fell off). That short tail made him stand apart and that’s why we brought him home with us instead of his brother. We called him Tippy and he could wag that short tail just as fast as a long one. He never had a problem with a short tail and could run just as fast, especially if he could smell a rabbit. If the tail has to be shortened, Oliver will be ok and you guys will be also! We wish you and Oliver many more memorable years!

Get well soon, Oliver! I wish I could have had the surgery in your place! You're such a courageous good boy!

Oh my poor little fella. You will always be my favorite patient. I will hold space in my heart for my sweetheart. Thank you for sharing your experience and love with us.

Poor doggo. I'm glad he has a wonderful owner and is doing okay.

Omg!! I wish we could give all three of you hug right now! Many prayers Oliver ❤🙏

Aw Scott, your emotion over Oliver's tail is totally understandable. Oliver is such a brave boy. Good to see his appetite hasn't been affected. 😊❤

So happy to see you all. Heal soon Oliver, I’m so glad you’re going to ultimately be ok. ❤

Oliver looks fantastic! The fact he has such an appetite is a great sign in itself. Oliver is a lucky boy to have you guys as his parents. I agree with you that even if he lost part of his tail, it would never be as traumatic as losing Oliver. My beagle, Allie, passed away suddenly a couple years ago at only six years old, due to a seizure. It was beyond devastating. She was part of our family, just as Oliver is part of yours. It is such a relief to know the results of his tests came back negative. Having such vigilant parents, it is obvious Oliver is in good hands with his recovery. I wish you all many years of good health and happiness ❤

Hi,I'm so happy that you posted a video about Oliver again(because you haven't posted in a while).Hopefully Oliver will be okay after the operation!Love from Bulgaria!

So glad things are going well for Oliver. He’s such a sweetheart ❣️ Thanks so much for keeping all his friends updated. I can certainly understand your tears, Scott! So glad that Wayne is there to take care of Oliver and you!

I hope Oliver is healing well I had spinal fusion nearly 2 months ago to fix my spine

Poor baby, Oliver is such a good boy and a real trooper! Prayers to all of you’s. You guys are the best Dads to Oliver. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🐾

Poor baby. Hope Oliver has a healthy recovery. ♥️

Oliver glad yout surgery went well ‼️

You look like you been crying. Bless you xx

Oliver is going to get through this with flying colors. I know it. We all love him and wish him well. We are with him every step of the way.

I love the deep humanity in this video ... Scott crying for sweet reason and Wayne saving the day with a good suggestion. Thank you for sharing your stories. I am praying for Oliver's tail recovery. Long may it wave.

Thanks for confirming it's not cancer, a lot of us would have worried about that. Hope Oliver is better soon.

Oh, I want to hug you all! Poor Oliver having to go through this. Rest up, little one, and take your time to heal. Thank you, Oliver's daddies for taking good care of him.

Thank you very much for the detailed information about Oliver's condition. I keep my fingers crossed for a speedy recovery and wish the two of you and Oliver all the best.

My beagle had the same surgery, but the cyst was on his butt, near his tail. Not much fun, but he came through just fine. Give Oliver love and kisses!! He will be fine.

my beagle Ace just turned 11 on Friday. Hes been a very lumpy boy, and I've spent a lot of money on non cancerous bumps. The worst growth on his hind leg never fully healed, but is now just a small scabby mass that doesn't bother him at all. Im willing to bet Oliver will be just fine. I wish yall the best.

All that matters is that you all still have each other & Oliver feels well again. Best dads.

Get well soon Oliver much love from Chicago!!!!!!!!!!!!

Precious Oliver, we are praying hard for you and your daddies Scott and Wayne. We have followed you since you started….life long beagler here . We know you are getting the best love and care. A little extra butter on that toast, please. We love y’all ❤️🙏❤️🙏🐾🐾

Poor Oliver! My prayers are with you that Oliver's tail will be ok. We all love Oliver🥰

Many hugs to Oliver from New York City! Feel better soon! ❤❤❤

My beagles and I watch all your videos. This one made me cry as I watched his tail wagging in past videos. Godspeed Oliver, get well soon.

Love ❤️ you Oliver fell better ❤️ 💕 ♥️ 💙 💗 💖 ❤️ 💕 ♥️ 💙 💗

Get well soon, sweet Oliver! You definitely need some treats!
