I know this might seem crazy to some , but I am devastated. I just found a tiny hard ball in my dogs stomach when I was checking her. My grandmas dog and my moms cat both had cancer and started off that way.My grandma's dog had 3 operation, but she still died.

Please, please I beg you to send a little prayer our way. I have had her since she was barely 5 weeks old. I bottle fed her and everything. She is my little baby and I honestly don't know what to do without her. She was my companion throughout all those lonely days and nights when Danny was gone. My head is racing right now, because I have 4 weeks left until I ship out for Boot Camp, Danny is working 17/18h a day . I don't know what happens if it's bad. I'm gone and they won't let Danny out of work, because his dog needs to go to the vet. I'm praying it's just a cyst, but I'm so scared that it's not. 

All night long I wasn't able to sleep, but thankfully I got in with a very nice vet this morning. As soon as he found the ball, he looked at me and said: She's just starting to go through a false pregnancy and smiled. He pushed around on her stomach and after a while milk came out. He told me that when they do go through a false pregnancy the breast tissue (of course) changes and those balls appear, because she is producing milk. This must have been one of the happiest moments in my life. I started crying and told my doggie that she shouldn't be messing with mommy like that. LOL  On Tue we are finally going to have her fixed, so hopefully no more scary lumps appearing out of nowhere.

Thank you so much for the prayers and good thoughts. They worked and I am the happiest person on earth today.

 OMG.  How scary.  I will definitely send a prayer up for your doggy.  I hope it turns out to be NOTHING.  Please keep us posted and everything.  My pets are just like family members so I know how you feel.  

Jess, you poor thing.  Toby our dog has been there for me every deployment and I know exactly what you mean. They are part of the family. I will definatly send up some prayers girl, its the least I can do.

 Many many prayers. I can understand the surgeries, my Nala has had several surgeries to have Mast Cell Tumors removed. Years ago one was a Grade II but all margins were clean, (knock on wood) since any others were just fatty cysts, thank GOSH. I am sending good thoughts your doggies way.

Prayers sent up.  Now please try to calm down.  Your dog is going to feel your anxiety and no matter what that little ball is, the added anxiety isn't helping you or her.  So calm down and prioritize.  Get the dog to the vet and then wait for results.  It's the waiting that sucks - I know from experience.  And being the overanalyzer that I am, I have to keep myself from researching or thinking about the possibilities.  I've learned that no amount of research will change what's suppose to happen.  Stay positive (especially around your pooch!).

i am so sorry, im deff going to send many prayers for the doggy and i hope that it turns out to be nothing.

Many prayers being sent!!
I know you are doing the 1 car thing right now, but if you can make an appt for the vet, I will take you. I seriously don't mind at all.

Call and let me know! We need to get together anyway!

I am defnitely praying for you and your dog.  There was one time that my dog had a cyst and I was terrified that it was cancer and I was a mess so I know what you are going through :(

omg how scary. i'm so sorry. please let us know if everything is ok. i'm praying for you

Jess I completely know what you mean, Chance has been my companion and a part of our family pretty much from the beginning of our marriage! She has been there through everything! I am praying for everything to be okay hun!!! ~hugs~

I am praying everything is okay also.

Oh Jess!  I am so sorry honey, I don't know what I would do either.  I will keep him and you guys in my prayers.  Hang in there.  

Many many prayers for your puppy dog, Jess!  I hope it turns out to be nothing!

Lots of prayers!

im so sorry hun!!! Hopefully it's nothing bad. I'll be thinking of you, because I cant imagine what you're going through.  I dont know what i'd do if anything happened to one of our dogs!!! Let us know if you find anything out!

Hope its nothing serious.

Sweetie, I'm so sorry that you found this lump.  Hopefully it is not cancer and they can just remove it.  I will be praying for her.  I know how a pet is very much a part of the family.  Hugs!!

I'm so happy to hear everything went well at the vet appointment this morning! :)

i'm so happy to hear everything is fine with your dog!!! YAYAYAAYAY

Awww, I'm glad that you were able to get into the vet so quickly!  And I'm really glad that everything is o.k.!

 Oh, sweetie! I'm so glad it turned out to be nothing major! I know you were so worried about her and rightfully so!

That's the best news girl! I've never heard of a false pregnancy, interesting. But anywho, yay!

That is great news!
