Are you familiar with Nick Vujicic, who runs the <a href="http://www.lifewithoutlimbs.org/" target="_blank" title="Nick Vujicic life Without Limbs">Life without Limbs</a> website? This guy amazes me how he can accomplish so much inspite of having so little. I think they could easily make a movie about Calpurnia, she seems so happy and driven to do her best. Kids around the world could learn alot from the determination of this amazing canine. I'm sure Calpurnia could also pull kids behind one of those <a href="http://www.diyhomecenter.com/mountain-boy-sleds/" target="_blank" title="mountain boy sleds colorado">mountain boy sleds</a> over in Colorado almost as quickly as part of a team on a dog sled. Great post, by the way and inspiring, enjoyed the videos too! This is just like meeting people with diabililtes that are overcomers.

For many reasons, one being the age. I am interested in knowing what form of cancer. Bailey (my wonderful and full of happiness and energy Golden) had a CT last week. It is suspected as being synovial sarcoma. The strange thing is, Bailey doesn't seem to know that there is something which is not right in her left hind leg. She is happy, walks faster than me, and still likes to run and swim. Her blood work looks great. So besides being in shock, I am so confused. Aslo we have received two different opinions from two different surgeons as far as what the treatment should be. So my husband and I are not going for a third opinion. So besides loving to hear great stories such as yours, I am also in search of information/help. Thank you. This is truely a great story. For many reasons, one being the age.
