Kona: Big Goofy Dog Grin

This week I was doing some photo management while migrating my library from Lightroom 3 to 4 and came across a series of photos of Kona that really tugged at my heart. It was just another day in which Kona and I had a great time hanging out. In truth that was pretty much every …

Art For Kona

Quality Time

Spending quality time with Kona outside… and in…. Kona is slowing down this week and we are spending every second with him to make him comfortable and happy. His spirits are still high but his body is not co-operating. He is still demanding belly rubs though…always a good thing:) Thanks again to all of you …

insidious

by

It is with the heaviest of hearts and streaming tears that I post this. This is Kona’s bone scan. That bright white dot is a nerve sheath tumor, which means cancer is crushing the nerve sheaths in his armpit and along his spine. That little dot is insidious, as it grows all too quickly. Kona …
