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.

I know Cassie will always be missed. The new family member though will be blessed with a wonderful home and benefit greatly from the experience and lessons you learned through Cassie. Best of luck in your search... please keep us updated.
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.
