Well today is Valentina's 5 month ampuversary!! She is still doing wonderfully well. She is strong and happy and I couldn't be happier. I do feel bad though because I just learned about Fergus the Irish Wolfhound having OS in his other leg. It's such awful news and it seems so unfair that some will be celebrating while others are preparing to say goodbye. One thing that I do know is that Valentina's time will come and no amount of time will ever be enough. I am however very grateful for the time that I have had with her. Recently I did notice what seemed to be a small swelling in her other front leg opposite the amp right in her wrist area. I asked the vet about it while I was at a visit for my cat and he said that OS almost never comes back in another bone. He said that the cancer comes back in the organs. He said it was probably my imagination. I have been keeping an eye on it and I feel kind of silly because I totally cannot remember if her leg was like that before or not and if I really am imagining it. It does not seem to hurt her at all so I am really hoping that it is nothing. I did wonder if the joint in the front supporting leg could become enlarged or change shape from all the stress put upon it. Now after hearing about Fergus I am a little more worried. Today while celebrating Valentina's 5 month accomplishment I will also have Fergus in my thoughts and I will celebrate the life he has had with his family. And I know that without a doubt that all of you on this site will be here for me when I have to walk that same unwanted path.
