Corky's Growths

I e-mailed Shelley today to verify when this incident occurred but she didn't reply...must be embarrassed!  LOL!

Shelley is now a nurse practitioner but when she had just started nursing school she didn't know near as much as she thought she did.  One day she took me aside and in a gentle voice calmly explained to me that she'd found growths on our dog, Corky's, stomach.  Of course we were both scared to death because Corky was not just a dog...he was an important member of our family.

I called Corky into the room and had him lie on his side so Shelley could show me the growths.  They were his nipples.

I still laugh today when I think of this.  Maybe Shelley doesn't.  I don't think she did at the time, either.
