Gracie Lou

Pictured above is our cat Tottie & her best buddy in crime, Gracie Lou. Gracie is going in for surgery tomorrow. You can see one of the lumps in this picture on the back of her thigh. This one she's had for awhile & it's all squishy like it's filled with water, and it's not the one that scares me. The one that scares me is on her lower belly...about where you'd expect to find her ovaries. Two weeks ago this second lump showed up & we took her to the vet. They are concerned it might be ovarian cancer. Tomorrow morning at 8:30am I'm taking her back to the vet and she's getting both lumps removed & getting spayed, since even if it's not cancer, I don't think it will be safe for her to have anymore puppies.

Needless to say we're all a little scared about tomorrow's outcome. Her blood tests all came back normal, her heart, lungs, and stomach all sounded fine & she doesn't seem to be in any pain...we poke & prod at both lumps regularly just to make sure they aren't changing size & it doesn't even phase her, so we're hoping it's just nothing serious.

So tomorrow morning, or even tonight, if you could say a little prayer for the safety & health of a little dog that would be greatly appreciated...you see she's not just a little dog, she's the best friend of my daughter, mother of four, buddy to a very sweet kitty, and beloved family member.
