For those of you who are not familiar with K, she is a very wonderful Labrador Retriever girl who lives in the Rocky Mountains with her owner, who may I say, is quite an adventurous lady. I have followed their blog Romping and Rolling in the Rockies for quite some time now and I am always amazed at their Rocky Mountain adventures. This is a blog that has really taught me how to open my eyes up to my surroundings and to take every day as a gift. I often find myself on walks with the Newfs thinking about how they would romp up in the Rockies with all that beauty surrounding them.
K and her pal R, encounter some pretty wonderful wildlife on their walks including Bobcats, Bears, and even Mountain Lions.  While I would probably freeze in my tracks if I ever got the smallest glimpse of one of these creatures on a walk, K’s owner is very aware of her surroundings and makes sure that her dogs are always safe.
Daily romps in their beautiful world is K’s favorite activity and she embraces every day that she has, yes she is a dog but you can see it in her face, her will to live life to the fullest.
At the end of December K was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her ulna, which is a forelimb bone.
K is currently undergoing stereotactic radiation, which is a new procedure for killing bone tumors. While this procedure will not cure K, it will kill the tumors in her forelimb and hopefully give her and her owners more precious time to share together.
K and her family are simply amazing and have such a love for life and the world around them. If I am ever feeling blue all I have to do is stop on by their blog and see K’s beautiful face and the adventures that she had that day. Seeing this and knowing what she is going through just makes my problems seem so very tiny.

With K’s next chemotherapy treatment approaching this week, a wonderful group of bloggers has gotten together to show their support and encouragement to K and her owner. To let them know they are not alone in their fight and that we are all sending strength their way.

This one is for you K. Thank you for showing me the beauty that life has to offer.
