Hi all :D I'm Melissa from Pa.

We just lost our sweet bully girl Cassie right before Christmas. She had cancer and we couldn't save her this time. She had a mast cell tumor removed about 7 months ago and was pronounced cancer free. I noticed a few weeks before thanksgiving a rash on her chest. In the two days it took to get a vet appointment, it got huge and other bumps started showing up. The results came back as mast cell tumors again and the vet said with as many as there were we couldn't do anything but keep her comfortable. She was a happy, playful girl up until that last day. We were so lucky to have her the 10 1/2 years that we did.

We're on the search for another baby bull to love and this time do it right and research breeders. Cassie was from a pet store and was plagued with ailments all her life. I'm glad to have found this forum so I can educate myself this time around. We made lots of mistakes with our baby girl, but hopefully we'll be more educated this time around.

Thank you desertsky :) Yes, I've emailed with Susan Rodenski of the BCA and gotten some good advice and a shoulder to cry on. That is my baby girl in the avatar. That's how I came up with my forum name..she's my little angel girl now. She always loved laying by the pond and watching the frogs hop around.I have thousands of pictures of her. She was always so photogenic. The middle one is me with her a few days after her last cancer diagnosis.

What beautiful pics!!

We got Maggie from a petstore too, not knowing any better, and she has had a lot of illnesses too! It is good you are doing your research and finding a reputable breeder!!!

[MENTION=1652]Angelgirl[/MENTION] so sad about Cassie but sounds like she had a great life with you! I am sure you are still grieving. I just could not imagine losing either of mine and the thought makes me so sad! Sorry for your loss and good luck in your search. I spent alot of time also looking around when we got Brodie. Unfortunately, there are not many breeders in my area so we had to look in other states and finally found a breeder we felt very comfortable with who gave great references and we have become good friends and email each other often. She also has beautiful puppies and has 1 girl left (born on 10/26) and i begged my hubby to let me have a 3rd and now is just not a good time, boo hoo. I just thought she was beautiful! Okay, off subject...again...good luck and cannot wait to hear you found your bullie...oh and then see pics. By the way, Cassie is/was beautiful!!!
