I just notice this bump in-between her foot pads. as it's Sunday I will have to wait until tomorrow to call the vet to make an appointment. But does this look like anything that is concerning?

This looks like a histiocytoma. They are fairly common in bullies. They are benign tumors. You could put apple cider vinegar on it, or it might be better to just leave it alone,as it's better if he doesn't lick it. It will just go away on it's own. They are not cancerous and usually don't need any treatment.

Thank you, I know she has had them between her toes but I’ve never seen it on the bottom of her foot between the pads. That confused me a little bit. I generally either leave them alone, or give her a little foot bath with iodine in it.

It could also be a interdigital cyst which usually is in between toes on paws.

If that’s what it is, allergies is one of the causes.

Epsom salt paw soaks work well on the interdigital cysts.

I still would have a vet check it to confirm.
 
I agree that it looks like a histiocytoma. I would watch it for a few days and if it gets any worse, see your Vet.
 
Looks more like a histiocytoma than an interdigital cyst to me. If it gets bigger/worse, definitely a vet visit. I always like to have bumps and lumps looked at by the vet as you never know and it's better to be safe than sorry.
 
Yea my Dog Winston gets them all the time he has one that’s very persistent we soak his paws twice a day in Epsin salt helps a lot we are told in his case has to do with his allergies
 
Yep -- agree with the gang it is a hysto-thing :D histiocytoma
 
You guys were correct as usual. I took her to the vet just to be on the safe side and that’s exactly what it was. Nothing to worry about.
 
Most likely, Vet stated, "hystio-thing" ;)
since it's not between the toes it cannot be an interdigital cyst(furuncle).
