Fortunately, they seem to hold their fire unless they're in mortal danger.<br /><br />What a perfect way to celebrate New Year's Day!<br /><br />I wanted to answer your questions from my blog (I wished that I had your email address). K's forelimb bones (ulna and radius) are weakened by the tumors because the cancer cells eat away at the bones. The radiation therapy will kill the tumor cells but also kill some healthy bone cells. So, my understanding is that it will actually weaken the bone. However, K's xrays and CT scans show that she has really strong bones to start with - which makes her a good candidate for radiation. If we can kill the tumors that way, the great thing is that she'll have 4 legs for the remainder of her life. We'll have more fun if she's a quadruped than a tripod.<br /><br />Thanks so much for your support. It means the world to me.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844165707475010260.post-28871128764595835612012-01-01T18:23:57.027-08:002012-01-01T18:23:57.027-08:00Hello AC, I loved seeing Kona on New Year's mo...Hello AC, I loved seeing Kona on New Year's morning. She's looking quite beautiful. Thank goodness she didn't get any of that special perfume! I think you'll love reading on the Kindle. I'm hooked! Happy 2012!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.com
