Lillie was found to have had an excised Mast Cell tumor to be in Stage 2. Not the news we were looking for, but not all that bad either. As I said, it was the excised tumor that had these findings. Doctor feels confident that they removed it all. She informed us that in 85% of the cases she herself has had with patients with a Stage 2 diagnosis - those patients never have to come back after having the tumors removed. Wonderful news to hear. For now we watch, wait and continue to appreciate all that we have. Lillie is doing great, running and jumping like nothing ever happened and we cannot ask for more then that.
Enough with all the doom and gloom. Wanted to share a cute photo of our 'youngest' - Otis. He's the part Pomeranian guy who will be two in April. He is a little love bug of just about 30 pounds. He has an oral fixation, and as such is rarely seen without a stuffed animal, treat, etc. in his mouth - unless of course he has recently buried it - in which case, the evidence is all too apparant. As you can see from the photo, he is our little digger, and our yard has certainly paid the price. Can you believe the picture above was him thinking he actually got away from his latest attempt.... With a face like that though - I was disarmed instantly and could do nothing but giggle and grab the camera! Enjoy
