Madi: Cancer Strikes Again

Well, as most of you know, our sweet Madi is 10 1/2 years old. She has survived two cancerous tumors, the mange, and lifelong allergies.  She is the best tempered dog in the world and has the perkiest, cutest personality.  We are dreading the day that she passes away. And, unfortunately, we see that day approaching.  

This week, I found another knot on Madi's side and another rash broke out on her belly.  This rash has been coming back for almost 6 months now.  I took her to the vet yesterday and heard the news I dreaded - the tumor is cancer and needs to be removed HOWEVER the vet is worried that the rash is a sign of something going on internally.  So...our next steps...the vet did blood work and will call me today with the results.  The blood work will show whether or not her internal organs are alright and if so, we will proceed with surgery early next week to remove the tumor.  

In the meantime, we are enjoying every second we have with her....just in case....here are some super cute pictures of Luke playing with Madi....
















Have a nice Thursday everyone.
