Nell: We have some good news and some bad news today.
Me: But the good news is far more important.
Nell: It is.
Me: We didn’t say anything before now, as we didn’t want to worry anyone until we knew more, but at Harriet’s annual check-up the vet found a suspicious lump.
Nell: She thought it might be cancer so she did a biopsy there and then and sent it away to be checked.
Me: Harriet was showing no signs of illness but we were all understandably worried after losing Poppy.
Nell: Anyway, yesterday the vet called Sara to say the biopsy was clear and showing no signs of cancer.
Me: She wants us to keep a close eye on the lump as it’s where the lymph nodes are, but for now all is well.
Nell: Which is a huge relief, as you can imagine.
Me: Yes. I went off to the gym with a spring in my step.
Nell: You did.
Me: However, when I got back there was some bad news.
Nell: The estate agents called to say the little bungalow we wanted has been sold.
Me: It would have been perfect for us but such is life.
Nell: There will be somewhere else out there for us.
Me: I hope so, and the main thing is that Harriet is okay.
Nell: It’s been a difficult few days.
Me: It has.
Nell: And things are not getting any better as far as the war with the Beefies is concerned.
Me: I wouldn’t call it a war.
Nell: Malcolm had to wear a colander on his head to go out in the garden.
Me: There does seem to be a lot of mackerel flying around.
Nell: The Cat insulted their leader. What else do you expect?
Me: Yes. Sorry.
