Montana met with the vet yesterday and had a thoradic chest Xray and blood work done. The vet said Montana's Xrays showed no signs of cancer and that she appears to be heallthy, we still have to wait for the blood work but the chest Xray was the news we were worried about. Guess she is a little more sensitive to the heat in her older age. Janette and I could not be any happier. WE ARE THRILLED!!!!!!!
Thanks to everyones good thoughts for our Monty Dog

That is pawesome news!!! Just great to hear! No wonder your pawrents are thrilled!!! Ice cream and steak is calling your name...
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
