Long Overdue Update

Wow, has it really been over two weeks since we last shared an update? Time sure does fly by! Well, we were distracted by a week-long vacation and we also had to focus on Bebe's surgery.

When Bebe first arrived to stay with us we noticed a lump on her belly. After a visit to the vet it was suspected that she had a mammary tumor. According to the vet, mammary tumors can be common in female dogs that are spayed late. One chest xray and one surgery later, the mammary tumor was confirmed and removed. Luckily, the rest of her chest was clear so it hadn't metastasized. The tumor turned out to be malignant (called adenocarcinoma) but it's unclear if and when it will spread, and it's possible it won't. We'll just to keep an eye on her belly for any more lumps.

She's just the sweetest dog and deserves a loving home and family in which to spend the rest of her life!
