So glad to hear the good news!
Lots of older dogs get those benign lumps, my vet has told me. Usually they can be left alone because putting the dog under sedation to remove them is more dangerous than leaving the lump. It just looks kind of weird.
Of course, my dogs are very furry so nobody can see if they have a lump!

She's a serious attention whore. :roll:
Thinking about Bailey, Gracie, Petey, and all the good doggies here, wishing good health for them and their people!
I share this sentiment!
I found some info that i wanted to share in this thread and maybe it will help those who need it! Its kind of long but....u can speed read through!
What causes arthritis in dogs?
Some dogs are pre-disposed to arthritis. For example:
* Dogs that have hip dysplasia, excessive strain on their joints, or previous injuries
* Older dogs, particularly large dogs aged 5 years old and up, and smaller dogs aged 8 and up, and those that are overweight.
However, not all dogs that match those descriptions get arthritis. Some dogs, just like people, never suffer from arthritis at all.
What are the symptoms?
If you think your dog may be experiencing the onset of arthritis look for signs of stiffness and pain in the joints. Here’s what to look for:
* Stiffness on rising after a long rest that eventually seems to go away as your dog moves around.
* Difficulty going up or down stairs, rising from a sit, and/or performing other movements that were formerly a part of your dog’s everyday life.
* Limping.
* Avoiding being touched or exhibiting pain when someone touches him.
If you suspect your dog may be suffering from arthritis, take him to the veterinarian for a diagnosis and help.
How can I help ease my dog’s symptoms?
Although there is no cure for arthritis, with your vet’s help you can still do a lot to help your aging friend.
Controlled exercise. Although vigorous exercise may be painful for an arthritic dog, exercise shouldn’t be avoided. However, keep it gentle, such as low-impact exercises, like swimming and walking. In fact, these exercises may actually help decrease the symptoms of arthritis because they keep the joints moving and help maintain muscle support.
Healthy weight. Being overweight puts more pressure on a dog’s joints, and his symptoms may be worse. If your arthritic dog is carrying around too much weight, you should consider putting him on a calorie-controlled diet. Your vet can help you determine the optimum weight for your dog.
Therapeutic massage. A comforting massage makes you feel better, and it can do the same for your dog. If you know the technique, you can massage your dog at home, or take him to a professional dog masseuse. Either way, your dog will appreciate the relief a massage will bring. If you choose to do this yourself concentrate on areas that may be especially painful and stiff, such as the muscles near your dog’s joints, and knead these areas gently.
Comfort and care. Arthritis pain is aggravated by the cold, so keep your dog warm by adding an extra blanket or two to his bed, and keep him inside on damp, cold days. Barometric changes in the weather can also aggravate arthritis by causing pressure changes in the joint.
Prescription medication. There are many medications that can help ease the pain of arthritis. Your veterinarian will recommend the type of medication most suitable to your dog based on the type of arthritis he has. Never give medication to your dog without consulting your vet first.
Proper diet. Feeding your dog food that's rich in antioxidants reduces the stress of aging by fighting the free radicals that are by-products of inflammatory processes, such as arthritis. Two other nutrients that can also benefit joint health are glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate—natural compounds found within the body that help provide lubrication and nourishment to your dog's joints. PEDIGREE +™ Healthy Joints is specially formulated with natural sources of glucosamine to promote healthy joints and help maintain mobility. And when it’s time to give your dog a treat, try Good Bites® Hip & Joint.
By following these treatment suggestions you’re giving your dog the help he needs to continue enjoying many of his favorite activities, whether it's joining you on the couch or taking a short walk in the park. And that translates to more quality time for you and your senior dog.
Love to hear of all the good news about the forum dogs. Bailey, Gracie, Petey and families, all my good vibes are with you.
It was a mellow night tonight...

And here are some random pics i took at the doggie beach last week!
And THIS, i found today while going for a walk on a nearby trail!
Orbit's going good. Grown so fast 6 weeks ago she was the size of Ringo. Now she's bigger than Bubba!!! :shock:
They are all getting along really well. She wants to play with us and the doggies relentlessly!!! She gets sooky and cuddlely when she gets tired. This will be interesting once she's full grown and wants to sit on our laps!!!

Gracie and I went to the park this morning. She found a spot at the bottom of a tube-type playground slide. Every time a kid would pop out, Gracie would jump back with surprise. Even after the 5th time. :roll:

Oh Eight Below is a movie- out maybe 2 years ago- its about a team of sled dogs- not one of those fake talking dog movies (although I like those too) its very well filmed in Antarctica- the dogs end up on their own- its a sad and happy movie - very heartwarming. I highly recommend it. The dogs are absolutely gorgeous.
Hello everyone! Glad all the Doggies are doing good!
