I had high hopes for 2010. I really did. I've started a new hobby, I've even started running to increase my general fitness and stamina. Worrying about weight later.
Studies are looking good and I was actually feeling rather optimistic.
Until my dog got a mole.
The mole was fine
The mole started bleeding.
Take her to the vets. Vet is not optimistic. I am not optimistic. I'm hoping in a perverse way the vet knows the dog has full insurance and is taking me for an insurance scam ride in which she orders lots of tests and tells me the dog is fine after a hefty bill.
I know in my boots the dog has cancer. Bleeding mole plus a lump on her shoulder. The biopsy of the mole should tell us if its the same cells as on the face, if the cells that are found in her face/mole and not face cells, but say womb cells that tells us that the dog had womb cancer but the cancer is now in her system and is spreading beyond control.
My dog is the one constant in my life, no matter how shit everything gets, stupid face is there to greet me when I get home demaning walks, dinner and petting. She sleeps with me at night, at some point ninjaing up on the bed in the early hours of the morning. Dribbling on my feet when I eat dinner, and depending how close she gets, sometimes dribbling in my dinner.
She's stupid. I've never met a dog so stupid. She's greedy and she farts like somethings died up there. But she's constant.
I know she's just a dog. I can always get another dog. Dogs are replaceable. I know all this but I'm still upset.
So 2010 is - in addition to all the family drama shit that kicked off early January - looking to be yet another year in the grand old blueprint of "shit that goes wrong"

It's a horrible time when a pet dies, as they are part of the family. But this is the price paid for all that love and companionship, there's always a bloody bill for everything...
You should do motivational speeches
Hopefully it will be nothing. A lot of dogs can be prone to benign tumours and don't get sick because of them. Fingers crossed that is all it is and the mole just got scratched by accident.
keep in touch and let me know what is happening. x
