I'm in Tears About Mooch Having a 2nd Lump Now

Today isn’t a good day, Y’all. I’m scared for my little dog.Just putting this photo of our beloved Mooch up for this episode brought me to tears. You can see that she has a noticeable lump under her right eye. We thought that Mai clipped her with a kitchen cabinet last night, leading to a bump this morning.But the 2nd photo on the right that I took a few days before that shows that it was there. We just hadn’t noticed it yet.I’m a strong person, but this shit is killing me. To go through this twice in two weeks is brutal. The first one turned out not to be cancerous. I’ve already scheduled a visit to her vet tomorrow afternoon. I don’t play around when it comes to our baby.I’ll keep you all posted. I hope it’s nothing. Or something minor, like an infection, a cyst, or a tooth problem. Send everything you have Mooch’s way, please. Prayers, positive thoughts, vibes, it’s all welcome. Thank you for caring. Our official Substack mascot needs to be around for a long time. I’m believing for that to be her reality.© 2026 The Mouthy Renegade Writer.
