I love Christmas. Well OK, I really don’t care what day it is. If I get to open a present, it’s a great day. I just love tearing into packages! Even if it is something my people have given to me before and just re-wrapped again. I don’t care, it’s the unwrapping I really like.

This year was extra special for me. It was my 1oth Christmas. My 9th with Jim and René, and my second as a Tripawd. But as you can see, I still enjoy opening my own presents. Especially if it’s my favorite talking Barney!

I wanted to let you know about a special project that my Mom and Dad are doing right now. They are creating a special coffee-table tribute book that’s all about Tripawds, both past and present. We want to show the world that it’s better to hop on three legs than limp on four.

We want you to be in the book too! Just send us photos and a short bio of your Tripawd pal. We would love to hear back from any of you who are interested in helping us shine a light on the amazing qualities of thee-legged dogs.

Just send us up to three high-resolution photos of your beloved Tripawd, and a brief story about your amazing family member. For those Tripawds no longer with us, we will dedicate a special section to these angel dogs. There is no cost for submitting.

As a thank you for allowing us to feature your special canine in the book, we will donate a portion of sales to the Morris Animal Foundation’s Canine Cancer Campaign, and offer you a generous discount on the book.

Please email your photos to us. New Extended Deadline! 1/4/08 (exceptions can be made)

PS: Please note that all submissions become the property of Agreda Communications and copy may be edited for length and clarity.
