My people would like to thank the nice folks at Ruff Wear for sending me their new Web Master harness to try out.
And they’d like to tell you that it is now available for purchase right here at tripawds.com! They’ve been using the Web Master to help me get around since I became a canine amputee. And we all agree the new harness has various improvements.
When a dog is diagnosed with bone cancer, veterinarians tend to give pawrents the worst case scenario. In my situation, my doctor at UC Davis said I would be lucky to get six more months out of life. Ha! Wrong!
Now, we know that their intentions are good, but when humans learn that their beloved furry friend might only have a couple of months of good health left, it’s too easy for them to focus on that number. Sometimes, pawrents don’t want to put a dog through amputation because they think he won’t live long enough to recover from it.
Hey check out my gal pal Lalla’s new comic strip, “Tri-Stix.” It’s the first comic strip all about the adventures of three legged dogs! Here is the first Tri-Stix comic, a tribute to Samuel Jacob and his funny story about what “Half-Fast” means.
After finally receiving our new camera – long story – we are excited to present our review complete with demonstration video … and even more excited to announce that we have partnered with Bella’s so you can now save 10% on every purchase.

We went to visit my girlfriends at the Veterinary Cancer Center last week, and I’m happy to report that I’m doing great!
My bloodwork was “perfect,” according to Nurse Kelly, and when Dr. Mullins did her magical Reiki therapy exam on me, she says that I look and feel wonderful.
Many times, pawrents aren’t sure if they should go ahead with an amputation on their senior dog. Of course all situations are very different, and there are no right answers. Lots of things about the dog’s existing health issues need to be taken into consideration.
But when a senior dog with osteosarcoma is otherwise in fair health, amputation can immediately alleviate the pain from bone cancer. And despite surgery recovery time and a bit of a learning curve, living out life on three legs can be a true gift for older dogs.
“Its all about growing old together,” says my friend Sasha, dog mom of my special girl Lalla. “A senior dog needs gentle exercise . . . and a pain free life in the ‘golden years’ is the greatest gift you can give to your senior dog.”
You might have heard . . . the first Tripawd Heroes and Tributes book was a great success! Today, we are looking for more stories, for the second edition of this 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, and we want you to be in the book too! Just send us photos and a short bio of your Tripawd pal. Help us shine a light on the amazing qualities of thee-legged dogs!
Just send us your story with a few high resolution photos, and we’ll publish a custom version featuring your furry friend on the cover.
This is an going project, which we hope you will want to be a part of. Our ultimate goal with it, is to mass market a published book with many stories, to increase awareness about the amazing ability of three legged dogs everywhere!
When a dog goes on chemo, a lot of pawrents wonder if they have to use caution when touching or petting their beloved furry friend. My pawrents wondered if I would glow in the dark! Well, I’m here to tell you, fear not, dogs on chemo are nothing to be afraid of. Sure, you have to use a little care when handling those special chemo pills, but that’s about it. We aren’t radioactive, and we won’t cause your TV to act funny either!
Taylor was 10 years old when diagnosed with osteosarcoma in October, 2007 and was just recently laid to rest on April 14. That nasty cancer reared its ugly head again after loving life as a tripawd for six months. Not bad for an old dog!
We sympathize because we know this is a difficult time. It’s never easy losing a loved one. But we are also grateful to Taylor’s people for sharing their feelings in this heartfelt discussion about when to say when.
By reaching out for support, not only did they get lots of kind words and helpful advice, but they have certainly helped those seeking solace in the future during such a difficult time.
We also know Taylor is eternally grateful for all they did to ensure his quality of life. He is at peace now, and proud of his people. Bless him, and them.
Hooking up with the wonderful people at the Veterinary Cancer Care clinic has been great for my health. The clinic is very forward thinking. Not only are we treating my cancer metastasis with the Metronomic Protocol, but I am also participating in their K9 Immunity Clinical Trial.
Mom and Dad knew about K9 Immunity, but had never tried it before. It’s a supplement made from medicinal mushrooms, that’s supposed to help my immune system out. When I first got sick, they chose to focus on giving me a narrow list of supplements to keep me healthy, so that they could eventually measure the results of my supplement regime against osteosarcoma dogs who had not been on those same supplements.
But then my cancer returned, and Mom and Dad decided to take out the big guns. The Veterinary Cancer Care clinic is doing a clinical trial with K9 Immunity, and I am so happy to report that I was selected for it.
My people would like to thank the nice folks at Ruff Wear for sending me their new Web Master harness to try out.
