… and he just had a brush with death. Bruiser is our four-year old English Mastiff, and he’s a huge, lovable presence in our house. And for the past few months, he’s had a tumor growing on his hind-paw. We had it biopsed a couple of weeks ago, and while we were waiting for the results, we had to tell the girls what might happen.
