Is the Lump on Your Dog Safe to Ignore or Serious? 🐕🔍

It’s easy to confuse tumors for cysts, but they’re not the same. ❌

🟡 Cysts are hollow sacs under a dog’s skin, filled with a fluid, semi-solid, or solidified material. They are benign (not cancerous) and do not spread to other parts of the body.

🔴 Tumors, on the other hand, are solid masses formed when cells divide abnormally due to DNA damage. While some are benign and harmless, others can be malignant, which means they are cancerous and can spread throughout the body.

A good rule of thumb: If you notice an unusual growth on your dog, don’t hesitate to have it checked. 🐶🩺 Early detection can make a big difference in your pet’s health. ✅

Here’s a simple, “maxed-out but plausible” projection—using generous assumptions to show how fast it can snowball:

* **Starting point:** 2 cats (1 male, 1 female), both fertile.
* **Key biology:** \~2-month gestation; females can get pregnant again soon after birth; sexual maturity \~6 months; assume no deaths.
* **“Maximum” litter size used:** **8 kittens** (upper end of typical 4–8). Assume **50% female**.
* **Litter cadence:** Original female manages **4 litters** within 16 months (around months 2, 6, 10, 14).

**Timeline math**

* **Month 2 (L1):** +8 kittens → **4 females** created.
* **Month 6 (L2):** +8 kittens → **4 females** created.
* **Month 8:** The **4 females from L1** reach maturity; they can give birth at **Month 10**.
* **Month 10 (L3 + L1 daughters’ L1):**

* Original female: +8
* 4 L1 daughters (first litters): **4 × 8 = 32**
* **Subtotal added at Month 10:** 40
* **Month 12:** The **4 females from L2** reach maturity; they can give birth at **Month 14**.
* **Month 14 (L4 + L1 daughters’ L2 + L2 daughters’ L1):**

* Original female: +8
* 4 L1 daughters (second litters): **4 × 8 = 32**
* 4 L2 daughters (first litters): **4 × 8 = 32**
* **Subtotal added at Month 14:** 72

**Totals by Month 16**

* Kittens from original female: **4 litters × 8 = 32**
* Kittens from L1 daughters: **2 litters each × 4 × 8 = 64**
* Kittens from L2 daughters: **1 litter each × 4 × 8 = 32**
* **Grand total kittens:** **32 + 64 + 32 = 128**
* **Add the original 2 parents → \~130 cats** in 16 months.

**Reality check:** This is a best-case (worst-case for your sanity) projection—real numbers are far lower due to infertility, skipped heats, smaller litters, kitten mortality, and resource limits. **Spay/neuter early** to prevent explosive growth.

🐶 Happy International Dog Day 🐶 from just a few of our herd.

26/08/2025

It's our Anniversary!!

I literally only now realised the date at 11pm.

Today makes it 28 yrs since we started rescuing.

We have helped so very many animals (I can give you numbers but that's not the point). We do not want accolades based on the large number of rescues. The point is for 28yrs we have lived the life of a rescuer.

Picking up whoever we could with a hope that we could figure out the finances needed to get them healthy, then to figure out how to locate safe and loving homes for them.

Not every rescue goes to a home though. Anyone that is compromised physically, mentally or emotionally stays with us for the rest of their days, so they are safe.

With your help we can continue this work. Kindly keep us in your prayers and thank you for your continued support.

Approximately 13 yrs ago I rescued 2 puppies, both boys and both clinging to each other. Now I assumed they were brothers as they were in the same spot and looked about the same size. Anyway, I picked them up, took them home and began the journey along the road to getting them adopted.

Through everything they were always together but they had vastly different personalities. I knew I had to find one home so I can keep both of them together.

After enough searching, a home was found that wanted both boys. The home was secure, the boys would be safe and loved here. I have them my usual pep talk and wished them well in their new home. I did follow ups for the next few months to ensure all was well and they were settling in...everything was good.

Fast forward to two years down the road and I get a call from their owner...panic sets in... did something happen to them ?? After I answered and enquired on them and was told they are good etc I could breathe again. Now I was confused, if all was well why the call? I waited as the owner carried on the conversation and then it came..... he wanted to return the dogs. Pure confusion sets in but I didn't hesitate to say "sure" because at the end of the day I will always take them back. So I ask what was the problem thinking someone acting out or caused some damage... but he said "oh no they dont give any trouble...I just dont want them anymore because I am going to get a Shepherd so I dont want these anymore".

The sheer rage that was in me and the restraint I held was legendary. ...but I had to hold ... I had to get back my babies and didn't want to enrage him before he just dumped them off. The next day I went for them. Once I saw them and instant recognition set it, tails were wagging and I knew they would be ok. Packed them in the car and headed home. I never felt so broken as I did that day. I kept questioning everything....how could they do this? ...after 2 years in your home did they feel nothing for you ? ...did they ill treat you over the years? ...did you know love? .... full blown tears all the way home.

As I got home and let them out, I looked at them and said "never again ... you aren't going anywhere... you will stay with me"....and stay they did ... until now.

On the 12th August one brother died, he was ill and it was expected. Since then the other brother was not the same. He refused to eat. Kept to himself. I had to force some meds and nutrients in him but it was always a task. He didn't even want to come to me as he usually does instead he always stayed far away.

Then last night as I went to feed my gremlins, I found him, right by the gate as he would usually be to wait for me ... dead. He grieved and had to be with his brother but he couldn't have me looking for him, so he came to me one last time.

He was always the defender while his brother was the quiet one so I knew he couldn't leave him in the afterlife undefended.

My boys, it was a privilege to care for you both, to rebuild the trust lost in humans and help you to love again. Rest in peace sweet babies...mommy loves you as always 💔🐶💔🐶💔

Momma and babies abandoned 🐱💔🐱

This sweet friendly girl and her 5 babies were dumped off about 2 weeks ago. I've been working on gaining their trust and I was finally able to pick them up tonight.

Please help us find suitable indoor homes for these loving kits.
