This is not Mia, but a photo of the St Patrick’s Day card that my vet brought today when she came to pay Mia a visit. Mia was not amused, despite the vet telling her how cute she was. Everything had been going so well, and now this complete stranger was trying to feel her up. The nerve!
Mia has what appears to be a lipoma on her left side. To me, it felt similar to one that our long ago Golden Retriever Mags had, except for its location. Fortunately, my vet agrees (99.97% sure) and feels that it should be left alone unless it starts to bother Mia.
Mia sulked while I finished talking to the vet (who is also a personal friend) and was inclined to eye me suspiciously for a while after the vet left. However, when I made lunch, Mia came to assure me there were no hard feelings, and a little snack would make her feel much better.
A good meal does wonders.
