I just got a text from my daughter. They are still at the vet. It seems he may have a cancerous tumor. They are doing a biopsy, and we will know in a few days.
It's so unfair. He is such a sweet, unassuming fellow. Why do these types of things always happen to the good ones? I don't get it.
I'm waiting for them to text me when they are ready to come home. It's a day that went from a bummer to an awful report. Maybe it won't be cancerous.

@celticeagle It was about this time of year when we found out that 8 year old Leah had a cancerous tumor.

@LadyDuck .......I am mentally seeing a medical report with the word "negative" on it.

The vet said it could be. So we are hoping it isn't cancerous.

I am mentally seeing a medical report back that says "negative" on it. I am hopeful. He has jumped up on the bathroom counter. They tend to like it up there for some reason.
