Lady went to the vet today and ended up coming home with a cone on around her neck. She was not very happy about it but she is getting use to it. So, why does she have a cone? Well, about a few weeks ago I noticed her licking and chewing at her foot constantly. The fur on her foot was turning to that rusty red color of saliva and I decided to carefully take a look at it. Guess what I found. A lump! I mean it was not like a lump under the skin. More like a little tumor that was growing. So my mom and I wanted to get it checked out as soon as possible. We dont want any ugly tumor growing on our beautiful Lady.

So, the vet gently checked Lady’s foot. Wonderful thing is Lady did not snap at all. Good thing we got a nice sweet women vet today. We are not exactly sure what the lump is yet. The vet gave us some medication to try for about a week or two to see if the lump becomes smaller. That will tell us if it is an infection. Also, the vet took a sample to send to a testing lab just in case its a cancerous mass or something else. Lets pray that its not.

Anyways, the cone is on her head to keep her from licking and irritating it. I know she looks so sad but she is doing so well. She has some difficulty getting around with a cone around her neck but she is getting use to it. Princess and Oliver still accept her. They just gotta make sure to not get in the way of the cone. Hehe. You know what I cant believe. On her vet record it says she is nine years old. I mean that is an estimate. We dont know her real age. We dont know any of the dogs ages since they are all adopted. We guess and make our own ages for them. Did you know I kept Princess at 6 years old for a few years? Thats right! Its the same thing I say about people. I dont judge by age. Thats not what makes a dog. Thats not the importance of dogs. The soul of a dog is what matters and Lady’s soul is beautiful. She will get well soon because she is one tough Lady!
