Humans may possess some ability to regrow it. Doesn’t look like it will help that much for knees and hips, though. But you never know what they’ll find next. Fortunately, I’ve never had any joint problems, yet.
Ember is almost a year old now (how time flies) and he’s almost like a dog in his desire for affection. Ashe is a little more aloof, but she likes to be on my lap while I work.
