We took some updated portraits of Fallon the other night, and it made me realize I never shared her diagnosis after her spay and mastectomy. Unfortunately, one of the masses did come back as Grade 1. The good news is that the other two were benign, and her vet was happy with how small the cancerous mass was, we found it very very early. She is in the clear right now and we will just have to routinely check for masses, insanely glad it wasn’t worse. Super important to make sure you’re checking your older girls, we only caught this so early because I make it a point to check for them.
She’s well past recovered, her fur on her belly is almost grown all the way back now, and she’s back to ruling the castle! She has not lost any amount of s***k after her spay, she is go go go outside and as chill as can be in the house (except for when food is being scooped 😜) just like always. She doesn’t always get much of the spotlight anymore, I’ve been significantly lacking in the picture department, even on my phone, and decided it had been too long and she needed some updates. Her days tend to look like waking up, eating, sleeping on the couch, bossing the other dogs around, playing ball, going on walkies, eating again, and then going back to sleep 😂 She is the prettiest, sweetest, drivey-est, craziest girl and we love her so much, her role here is so important and she’s given us so much to love and be thankful for. The BEST girl really 💜
