    pet illness

    Geoffrey here (yep that’s his name) is my aunt’s dog who’s going to be 8 this year. My aunt lived with us for some of his life, so my family developed a close bond with him. When my aunt lived with us, G would get really excited when we came home and sprint to us.

    Lately, he hasn’t been his usual self. We thought it was just old-ish age and he was mellowing out. But today, my aunt found a lump under his armpit, and now the vet are testing it to see if it’s the big C.

    Hoping it’s nothing.

      Hoping for the best! Fantastic your aunt found the lump though, many owners don’t know how to feel for that sort of thing (not disparaging owners ofc! That’s what a vet is there for!) so it sounds like it has been caught early. 8 years is relatively young for a small/medium breed (8 is old for large breeds), so there’s a real good chance Geoffrey can pull through. 💜💜Sending you my love and good positive thoughts! 💜 He is very loved, it is so apparent!

      Fingers crossed it’s something easily treatable and Geoffrey will be back to his happy self soon. He’s a very handsome boy with a lovely name.
