Hello world!

Here it is, July 10, 2010.

Kona Kai is a 9yr Australian Cattledog……a wild child.

She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma on Memorial Weekend, 2010. Amputation of her right rear leg on June 4th 2010. June 18th 2010, Kona received her first chemo .  July 9th 2010, she had her second of three chemo treatment. Here it is the next day and we can’t believe how well she’s doing. To say we’re thankful is a major understatement.

Kona is the alpha of our puppy pack. We adopted Kona as an 8wk old pup and of course, now she’s 9yrs.  Next, there’s Bella Luna 7rs. We adopted her as a 5+month old pup…she was rescued from Blewett Pass in the Washington state mts….dumped and survived for quite a long time…….how she did it, no one knows….two weeks before she was found, her brother was found….Bella is a homogenous albino…deaf and blind in one eye…very limited vision in the other…we know her doctor well at the eye specialist clinic….

Then, the kid of the group is Cotton, although we also call him, K2, because he absolutely idolizes Kona and tries to be just like her. Cotton is 3yrs old. We adopted him as a 6month pup. He too, was dumped in the mts of Washington, but in a different part of the state, in Chinook Pass. He too is albino, deaf and blind in one eye (different eye) however, his seeing eye is like an eagle’s!!!

Both Cotton and Bella still have a lot of issues, mentally, from the hell they went through early in their lives, but are better and better.

Ok, here’s a few pics that I took today because we are just so thrilled at how well Kona’s doing.

Kona was just diagnosed on Memorial Weekend 2010, and then had surgery to remove her cancerous right rear leg on Friday, June 4th, 2010. We also have two other pups: both special needs (from birth) homogenous albinos, deaf and blind in one eye (opposite eyes) then dumped as puppies in the mts of Wa state…both survived quite a long time on their own. Bella is now 12 1/2+ and Cotton 8 1/2yrs with rescued as a kitten, tossed out of a car @ 60mph...Holly, now 16 +yrs. Bella is now completely blind for more than a year. View all posts by konakaismom
