All about Tripawds Founder Jerry’s people Jim and Rene and new spokesdog three legged GSD Wyatt Ray
Before my recent appointment in Santa Fe, we camped out overnight in the parking lot of Rancho de las Golandrinas.
My people checked out the vast living history museum during the day while I gladly rested in the rig. This was just fine with me really, considering I didn’t care for the canon fire from the civil war reenactment going on!
But we did meet some new friends who worked there and arranged for us to stay overnight. And that evening, we were visited by Spirit Dog.

Ever since Jim heard the Big Dog talk about his daily mantra for Malcolm, he’s been thinking up one to keep my tail wagging every day.
After Malcolm’s osteosarcoma metastasized, Luke would wake him every morning with a resounding “we will never give up” … and now, Jim has proven his age by adapting some of his favorite Devo lyrics:
We shall attack this day with vigor vim vitality and punch!
And as they say … you know that’s pep! But I just tell him, Duh. That’s how we dogs greet everyday anyway. Does this look like I’m about to let a little thing like cancer let me down?

My girlfriend in Israel sent me a St. Patrick’s Day greeting. She is so sweet. It featured us on a beautiful, dreamy beach. As in her dreams. Like I said. Isn’t she sweet? And cute too.

Jim and René have always said they would rather not know if my osteosarcoma had returned or metastasized in my lungs. They believed I would let them know if the cancer came back if and when the time came. But the doctor recommended x-rays because he believes “it is better to know than to not know” … so, they agreed and I went through with it for them.
Jim just spent a whole lot of time in front of his computer, when I wish he would have been playing with me!
But we heard from some people about how this site had certain layout issues. Issues, never problems, as I like to say!
So I sat by while Jim worked away, knowing that it was for the good tripawd lovers everywhere.
