Thank you EVERYONE for being an amazing support system to me this year and for loving and remembering Shelby always ... your love is felt all the way here in Los Angeles and while this year is incredibly hard, I am incredibly blessed for the new fur-baby in my home and that I can remember and work on focusing on all the great times Shelby had.
So here's to new traditions ... me, Jasper Lily and Spirit Shelby in the background! 
Shelby Lynne; Jack Russell/Shiba Inu mix. Proud member of the April Angels of 2014.
October 15, 2000 to April 8, 2014
Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife

And a couple of videos from her first Christmas ... and like most kids, she liked the paper more than the toys!
enjoy!

Great post Alison and delightful photos and videos! I especially love the first photo of the three ofnyou...all together and very happy!
And antler ears are just a natural extension for that Jaaper Lily! If I didn't k n kw better I would think she was born with them!
She sure hit the lottery with you!! Look at all those presents!!!! And she's so dainty as she unwraps her pesents! Alsion, I just love her! She is sooooo cute!!!
It appears that her stocking is maybe her favorite "stuffy", next to the paper!
Thanks for sharing the joy today and for ALWAYS adding so much love, support and FUN to the Tripawds Universe!
Have a wonderful MERRY FIRST REAL CHRISTMAS JASPER LILY! You've earned it! Shelby is ALWAYS watching over you both. Well, maybe not too much today and she's running around all bat crazy at the Bridge grabbing everybody else's presents! She has to stop every now and then because her bling covered tiaras keep falling off!!!
LOVE!
Sally and My Eternal Light Happy Hannah and MERRY Christmas Myrtle!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!

I must find a better way to browse this forum. Somehow missed this, and hate it because I LOVE seeing the pictures!
Thank you for sharing your fur family. So precious.

Awweee . . . I missed this too! LOL! I loved watching her get to the present and wonder what that heck it was! And then went on to the other end for the paper!
She really is adorable!
Harmony became a Tripawd on 10/21/14 (MCT). She left us way too soon on 11/1/14.
