So glad to hear the good news about your dog. One of mine gets benign fatty lumps - I just keep a check on them to make sure they're not really growing or anything, but we had one removed a couple of years ago (and her teeth cleaned at the same time), and it turned out to be nothing. But it was too small for them to aspirate. Right now she has several, but they're pretty small, so I'm not worried.
As for teeth brushing - I was doing so well with it for a while, but one of my dogs has really bad teeth - she's four but her teeth look like they never grew up with the rest of her - she still looks like she has puppy teeth, though I know she hasn't - and her teeth get tartar buildup so quickly. I just had them cleaned about 1 1/2 yrs ago, but they will need it again soon I suppose. She gets dry food and rawhide and occasional dentabones and dog biscuits, but, alas, without daily brushing it's just downhill. Very frustrating.
Hoping it cools off for you soon. Very glad you're feeling better!
