What Does Your Breed Say About You?
In my book It's a Dog's Life... but It's Your Carpet, I reveal a few “veterinary insider tips.” Granted, these are just my opinions (where I make some broad-sweeping generalizations)
Dogs
Lipomas: Also Known as "Lumps and Bumps"
Dogs and cats commonly develop “lumps and bumps” just about anywhere on or under the skin. Because what feels like a “fatty mass” or lipoma may in fact be something much worse, it is always advisable to have it checked out by your family veterinarian.

The Löwchen
Background
The Löwchen is traceable as far back as 1442 when he can be found depicted in several old paintings, tapestries, engravings, drawings, and literature. They were popular during the 16th century in many countries. It’s believed they originated in Germany where the name Löwchen means little lion.
During World War II the breed became rare and came close to being extinct alltogether until Madame Bennert, a Belgian woman, revived the breed using just two females and one male.
