About This Blog
Why Am I doing This?
Good question! Why would I want to share a very difficult experience with the ‘world’? The answer is rather selfish. As we travelled down the illness road there has been tremendous soul searching and tears shed while making our decisions. I wanted to have a record of this, so that at any time I can look back to this blog and hopefully realize we have done everything possible to keep both Kona and Madi with us as long as possible. More importantly, to ensure we are being true to them not our own selfish desires.
I hope other pet owners will find an honest and compassionate account of our experience as we walked down the “C” path and the “KD” path.

Thanks for sharing the journey. Different journey here for me, http://johnjzokovitch.com, but don’t think I would have made it this far without my dog Rudy. Good luck to you and Kona.

I wanted to let you know that our sweet, epileptic St. Bernard, Afton, has been diagnosed with sarcoma, probably osteosarcoma. She has a tumor on a rear leg. Since she will be 6 in a little over a month, we have opted for palliative care. We are sad, and giving her love and pain meds. It is a matter of months. She can still wag her magnificent tail to let us know she’s still happy to be with us.

Oh no….I’m heart broken to hear Afton’s diagnosis. I wish I had something wise and soothing to say but nothing can ease the pain you’re experiencing. One day at a time is all one can do. Keep her comfortable and spoiled – they understand so much more than we know. Please share a pic of her.
all the best to your family.
