To destroy the trust that Tandem had in me. Her lump had to be investigated because it was so large- but that one visit has set us both back to day one of her arrival here.

Now when I approach her, she narrows her eyes and contemplates her chances of escape. If I reach for her, she backs away hissing and growling and it breaks my heart. I had to capture her last night to see if the lump has diminished in size- it hasn’t. The vet said it would be three or four weeks before the reaction to the vaccine will vanish, but still, you would think it would at least start to shrink.

I know one thing, I dearly miss my dance partner….
