Thanks, Lynn! After 14 years of being "parents" of 6 dogs, we really didn't realize that you need to look for lumps like that! We've been through broken legs, ruptured discs and a fatal infection, but not cancer. Luckily Gracie has only peach fuzz for a coat, so we were able to see her lump easily. Would be more difficult for a long haired breed.

We are small breed lovers, but I must say, a Dalmation would be great. I wonder how small and large breeds would get along? What is Snow White's temperament like - is she easy going? She just looks like an angel from your pictures.
