Update on Bear

This morning the vet called to let us know that Bear's little tumor was benign!! I am so happy and so relieved. I made the mistake of googling the malignant cancer she had mentioned and scared the shit out of myself - I was a mess all weekend. The vet said that it was a histiocytoma which is a benign skin tumor that is common in young dogs. They're often no big deal and many times they just go away on their own. I am so, so thankful that Bear is healthy and that there are no long-term issues that we need to worry about. It was completely removed and now it's all over. I'm so glad that he doesn't have to go through any more testing - the poor little guys has been through too much already.

Thanks again for all of the love and prayers. Like I said, I was a mess (my anxiety has been poorly controlled lately) but it was so helpful to have so many people thinking of us!
