I cried watching your tribute because I am going through the EXACT same emotions with my Pyr right now hoping I have done the right thing. I am so very sorry for your loss. Your baby looks so happy, and it has given me new hope in that I have made the right decision for my Willy Dog! Thank you for sharing and again, so very sorry for your loss!
Melissa I just had to write and tell you that I'm so sorry about Kona's passing, but how wonderful that he did so well for so long.
Also, yes, as you can see,we shared pup names!
With a name like Kona, well they can be none other than tough!
Thank you for sharing your video....wonderful !
Loved the one too of Kona as a lil pup...what a cutie!

Denise

Kona Kai's pup brother and sister as well as her buddy and playmate cat, Shaymous 12yrs (like Seamus), miss her terribly.
Thank you for sharing your story. What a beautiful dog. I am so sorry for your loss. We are grateful for each and every day with Loa--we have also chosen not to do chemo, so it is very encouraging to hear about your 16 months with Kona.
I am so sorry for your loss. I feel exactly the same way "I would do it again" about my girl who died on July 15, less than 7 months after her osa diagnosis. Her whole life and those 7 months were precious.
It is obvious to me that you are a very special person who was blessed with a very special dog. The fact that you took this moment to encourage others facing the disease that took Kona is absolutely amazing, showing what a huge heart you have. You have my deepest sympathy.
K, an 8 year old chocolate lab, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma of the radius and ulna on 12/23/11. She had stereotactic radiation to kill the bone tumors, and 3 rounds of carboplatin. On 3/16/12, lung mets were found. We tried several different kinds of chemotherapy to slow the lung mets but none worked. Finally, mets appeared at other sites, including her spine. She earned her angel wings on July 15, 2012. K changed my life, and I'll never forget her. Our/my journey is chronicled at romp-roll-rockies.blogspot.com.
