The tissue sample that was removed from her leg has been analyzed. The tumor was, in fact, a grade 2
mast cell tumor. That was the bad news, but the vet had already guessed that. The good news was that
the margins of the sample were clean - no mast cells. Hopefully, it's gone and won't come back.

great news and give my regards to the patient!

Thanks, I'll do that. She's been at the vet's for the past couple days, 'cause she pulled three or
four stitches out of the incision. At home she just wants to play with the other dog, and they get
pretty rough. We'll pick her up tomorrow and take her on a camping trip for a week. She'll go with
us just so the house-sitter won't have to put up with her.

The vet, yesterday, admitted that he now understands why I keep suggesting we put this dog on
Ritalin. She is *not* a gentle, calm, animal!
