Bailey

In case you haven't heard we've had a little scare with Bailey (our four-legged daughter). We took her to the vet on Thursday morning to have a little spot removed from her leg and to have her teeth cleaned. We noticed the spot back in the summer sometime, and we didn't really think much about it because a lot of dogs get little bumps and it's usually nothing. The vet was pretty sure it was nothing too, but when he went in to take it out, he said it worried him because it was harder to get out and it was stuck to other things about it. He had to do a little extra "digging", but he's pretty sure he got it all. We went to pick her up from the vet Thursday night, and the vet said he would be very surprised if it wasn't a malignant tumor. WHAT?!? Our 3-year-old baby might have cancer? You can imagine the look on our faces when he was telling us this. They sent the tumor away to the lab to get tested, and we should know in the next few days whether it is malignant and whether he got it all out. We are really hoping and praying that it's nothing....if you all know us, you know that Bailey is just like a child to us. I'm pretty sure she does have a better life than some kids. Please pray for Bailey and the good news we're hoping to receive later in the week regarding her health. We know dogs don't live forever, but she is too much of an important part of our family for anything to happen to her right now.

What would we do without this?
