This is Kimball's story, in short. On this coming May 8th 2008, Kimball will have survived osteosarcoma (bone cancer) for 5 years. Through ZooToo I met a vet, Dr. Jill from New Jersy who helped me with some info that I had been searching for. Kimball had his left front leg removed and our vet said his life expectency would be about 6 months to a year (on average). With the leg removed he wouldn't be in pain and he would have a good rest of his life. Well with the help of Dr. Jill I found out that 5 years is VERY rare but not unheard of.
Kimball is a happy and healthy dog and has many, many friends. Lots of people know him but not me, other than, "aren't you Kimball's mom?" I don't mind because he is the star! He's a great dog. Just goes to show that great pets CAN come from shelters. Kimball visits the Jefferson County SPCA to see all his friends there!! He's like an unoffical mascot.
