If you follow me on Twitter, then you already know the deal.
I got a call from the vet early yesterday evening. I was surprised to hear from him since he said that he likely wouldn’t have the results from Sadie’s pathology report until the very end of the week. My voice perked up over the phone when I realized who was calling me, but the inflection in my voice was met with a rather serious tone and I immediately knew the pathology results our vet was calling to share were going to be a little scary.
Apparently they don’t know what Sadie’s little lump is and they want it completely removed. They think it is a kind of sarcoma, a type of cancer that develops from certain tissues, and want to do further testing.
I’m about to leave to take Sadie in for surgery this morning to get that freaking lump out of her. Ryan and I are keeping our thoughts positive. So many of you shared amazing stories in the comments section of my morning post yesterday (thank you!) and I know dogs have cancerous lumps removed all the time and live long and happy lives. I’m trying to postpone any worries I may have until I receive all the information from the vet.
It looks like the Cone of Shame may resurface later today…
I love that little girl.
Breakfast
I inhaled my breakfast this morning as I typed up this blog post.
Steel cut oats with egg whites and a sliced orange!
Off to the vet!

Praying for good news and a speedy recovery for Sadie!
Best of luck and prayers to you sweet Sadie! You and Ryan are great doggy parents and I just know that Sadie will be ok.
Sending happy, positive thoughts. That crazy pup is a fighter!
I hope that your dog recuperates quickly. I know exactly how you are feeling right now. My dog went into surgery yesterday for his teeth. He had an abscess. He came out okay and I’m sure Sadie will too! Many hugs from one dog mama to another 🙂
Saying a prayer for your family and your dog. I can’t imagine how scary it must be but God will help you all through it. 🙂
Darn it Julie, I am sorry. I am going to totally throw another positive story in there about a lab that I believe had two of these (cancerous) removed over the duration of her life and lived to be 15. 🙂
Thinking about Sadie (and all of you) today.
Ug I am so sorry I can’t imagine how scary that is, praying for yall!
I’ll be thinking of you! It makes me crazy when my pup has anything wrong, so I know how you feel and am sending positive vibes your way.
thinking of sweet sadie!! she’s very lucky to have such good parents that keep a close eye on her health. sending positive vibes your way!!
Good luck Sadie girl! Sending prayers and well wishes!
Sending healing and ‘it will all be okay’ prayers your way! XOXO
My thoughts are with you guys! Poor Sadie! My first cat, Mir, had a rather large sarcoma removed years ago and made a complete recovery. I got another two plus precious years with her- and that was ONLY because of old age and not ANYTHING to do with the sarcoma. Hang in there! Sadie will bounce right back I’m sure!!!
aww poor Sadie, but seeing how she’s so strong and active she’ll be recuperating perfectly 🙂 Hang in there guys!
I’m so glad you’re going to get the lump out. Sending so much love to you and Sadie! <3
Best of luck Sadie! You rock that cone! 😉
hope all goes well for sadie and you guys. i know they’re just pets, but man, you become soooo attached to them! my dog is like a kid to me.
Prayers for Sadie–and for her mama and daddy! XO
hope she’ll be okay! my dog tore his ACL and had to have an intense surgery. he’s a great dane too so it was super expensive! prayers your way.

Hoping for good news for Sadie! I would be a worry WART right now for sure!
Will be praying for Sadie, and you and Ryan. I haven’t been reading your blog very long, but Sadie won me over the first time I saw a post about her. Love that dog!
Poor Sadie!! Hopefully once it is removed it will not come back and it is negative on all tests for anything more serious!
Keeping Sadie in my thoughts! Stay positive you two 🙂
Ahh that is so sad, I hope all goes well and that no further surgeries are necessary!
Goodluck Sadie. Fingers crossed x
Prayers that Sadie’s lump is benign and that she will be just fine!
You seriously must have some amazing kitchen instruments! Why does your cut up fruit always look so darn good?!
First off I would like to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was curious to find out how you center yourself and
clear your mind prior to writing. I’ve had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Appreciate it!
