Oh, no. Julie Pippert at Using My Words got some very bad news about her dog. He has cancer. It’s some of the most heartbreaking, scary news a pet owner can hear. Julie writes:

We had thought it was a polyp. We had hoped. The surgeon was surprised
by the contents he withdrew with the biopsy needle, and called for the
oncologist to come have a look—he was also surprised. They’d never
seen anything like it. I’m not sure what well-differentiated means but
I understand malignant and aggressive and atypical and hard to treat
and high incidence of recurrence.

I hate to hear that news. I’m praying/sending healing vibes/sending glows/etc. for her dog. In my house, our animals are part of the family.  It seems Julie feels the same way. Keep her dog in your thoughts.
