Good news! They treated Gracie's lump that contained cancerous cells and it shrank and eventually fell off! Apparently the only way to see if it really was cancerous was to see if more developed or if the lump fell off, so it was a waiting game for our family. We had also found another lump, but thankfully the test results came back turned out to be just a lump. The veterinarian thinks that it may have just been a mosquito bite. Better safe than sorry though!However, as I wrote in a few posts ago, ever since we adopted her,
Everyone who reads this blog probably feels that pets, though they can be a lot of work and responsibility, make our lives better in the long run. But it probably doesn’t occur to us that they can be good for our physical and mental health – in measurable ways. (Hey, we’re the ones who brush them, take them to the vet, and make sure they get their meds – not the other way around.)
