Hey it's great to hear from you!
We too believe that pawsitive energy is what keeps us hopping along and thriving. Spread the love, and the world is certainly a better place because of it.
Thanks for telling us more about him. So, how did he get better after the illness? Was it just a spontaneous remission of the illness, or do you think it can be attributed to something else?

Kimball's autoimmune disorder and the finding of the osteosarcoma sort of blended together. He was really sick just before Christmas of 2002. His tumor was discovered and comfirmed cancerous in April and his amputation was done quickly. I have often wondered if the medication he was on for the auto-immune helped slowdown the bone cancer. Kimball had his leg removed to the shoulder to insure a better chance of removing the cancer.
I hope this helps. I'm not the best at writing things out.
Kimball would like to ask that people go to zootoo and register to vote if they haven't already. He's a spokesdog for the Jefferson County SPCA and they can use your votes to win a much needed make-over.

Peace!
Kimball and his mom ^. .^

Trac, Good Luck to you and your girl. Kimball and I send lots of healing energy. In answer to your question, No Kimball didn't have chemo after his ampulation.
Peace
