I don't feel excited, mostly I feel concerned.

I think Jan and Mari are going to be very helpful to me, and I'm going to rely on them greatly for advice. I've been thinking about taking him to my vet for x-rays to see just what shape his arms are in. Melissa states that he doesn't like them to be touched, so I want to know if they hurt him. Or is he just aware that they are a vulnerable part of him. It seems that vets who are experienced with this type of deformity are few and far between so I've also been thinking about writing to the Best Friends Sanctuary to ask their advice on veterinary help. I've got lots of questions and concerns, but Beans just copes and enjoys his life as it is.
