It was my mom’s birthday on Monday, so I decided to make her a cake. Well I usually do make a cake, but this time I tried something different I found online. And of course it didn’t come out like it looked in the picture. But it was still fun to try. I think I need more practice. *L* A lot more. I should have tried a pumpkin cake, it being so close to halloween, but stupid me went with a summery theme. Doh! (btw, the glasses on the cake are oreo cookies. I thought that was a cute idea. :p )

Facebook isn’t as boring as I thought. I’m actually getting into it. I have 4 friends (waiting on a fifth) LOL. But it’s fun…now that I’m getting use to it. *thinking of forcing Orion to join*  haha

Well everything else is just hunkey dorey. Actually I’ve been feeling pretty good these past few days *knocks on wood*. Nothing major going on in my life, except for Zoey having cancer. But she’s doing so good right now it doesn’t even seem like she’s sick. I’m just enjoying life…taking it one day at a time.

Zoey had some weird growth growing on her left hind leg (yeah I know, gross). I really didn’t think anything of it. She’s getting along in years (she turned 7 this August) so I thought it was just that…a growth. It happens sometimes when dogs gets older. I’ve had a few dogs in my lifetime to know this.

So she had an operation to get it removed. When I went to go pick her up that evening she couldn’t even get up, so I had to leave her there overnight. Poor thing. As soon as she heard my voice she was struggling to get up, but it wasn’t going to happen.

The next day I picked her up and she seemed happy to see me. She was somewhat out of it, but obviously glad to be going home. All I had to do now was keep her from licking her stitches (which was no easy task) and wait for the results from the biopsy.

Well, to make a long story short, she has Cancer. “Spindle Cell Sarcoma” to be exact. It stinks though because I have no idea how long she has, or when she’ll start getting sick. All I can do now is watch her for signs and make her last days happy.

Zoey, American Mastiff. 7 yrs. old. You can see the stitches on her left hind leg.

The ‘news’ came to me like a punch in the gut though. I didn’t expect that at all, and it’s left me feeling like total crap…
