My other kid, Sadie

Everyone knows that Sadie holds a very special place in my heart and in Sophia's as well. Sadie has to have surgery tomorrow to have a lump removed from her face. It's right beside her left eye. I noticed it on Tuesday and here's what it looked like then.

I took her to see the vet this morning (ironically, this appointment was already scheduled for her annual checkup) and the vet told me she couldn't tell what they lump might be. So Sadie is scheduled for surgery tomorrow to have it removed and biopsied. Sadie really panics and doesn't like to go to the vet's office at all so I feel really bad that she's going to have be dropped off tomorrow by herself. I should be able to pick her up in the afternoon, but we won't know until next week what the lump actually is.

When we got called into the exam room, they took Sadie and went into the back to do some blood tests, etc... all the normal routine visit stuff. Sophie watched Sadie leave the room and proceeded to cry her eyes out until Sadie returned. Sophia was devastated that someone took Sadie away from her. I couldn't do anything to console her. She just sat on my lap clinging to Lamby and cried.

Here's what the lump looks like now. Sadie's been scratching and rubbing it and making it look really gross. Poor doggie! I really hope she's OK.
