Who is Coby?

Some of you that may not know Coby, so I will give you a brief history of our little boy.

He is a 1 year old Alaskan Klee Kai who is an important and very special part of our family. We've had him since he was about 9 weeks old - we actually flew to San Antonio to get him (we live in Milwaukee, WI). He's a very shy and timid little guy, but very loving and sweet to those he knows and feels comfortable around.

Before all of these medical conditions occured, he was a happy little boy, always playing with his "sister" (Olive, our cat) or playing fetch with his ball. He went to daycare every Tuesday and Thursday and enjoyed every minute of being there. He was a fun loving, little puppy.

Coby (to me) is my "son". Yes, I call him my son....some call me crazy, but dog people understand. Some may think it's absolutely absurd to spend the amount of time and money I have on him, especially being diagnosed with GME - a "poor prognosis" disease, but I will do everything I can to help him. I am able to go thru each day knowing I'm doing every single possible thing I can to help him. It's just as if one had a child with a serious, incurable disease.....you would do every last possible thing to help your child, no? So....yes, it may be alittle crazy to some, but to me, he is my son and I love him with all my heart.

    Coby is an absolute doll and and I have no doubt that his mommy will help him beat this disease. Thank you for setting up the blog to let everyone know that there is hope and treatment options.

    Sending love and hugs to you and Coby,
    Crystal
