Last week we (ok, Chris - I'm too emotional) took Kylee to the vet for a lump that we found under her jaw. We were pretty sure it'd turn out to be nothing . . . now we know to never assume anything. It was a tumor. And two days ago, poor Ky went back to the vet to have it removed. Now we're nervously waiting for the biopsy results. And we're REALLY hoping our initial thoughts of it being nothing, turn out to be a reality. The "Big C" is scarey. Even if in reference to the family pet. Our girls are more than just our dogs, they're our first babies. And the thought of one of them not being there, well, let's just say it's not something we like to dwell on.
It's amazing really how an animal can become such a huge part of your family. We vacation with these guys because we don't have the heart to put them in a kennel for a week. We actually go out of our way looking for dog friendly accomodations, sacrificing certain amenities, and paying additional charges just so our girls can accompany us on our family vacation. And why shouldn't it be that way? They're just as much a part of the family as any of us. They're what made Chris and I a family before we were even married. We owe a lot to these girls. We hope to have them around for a long, long time.
