Oh wow that is pure JOY! I'm smiling big here, seeing the fun they are having! 
It's amazing that they've had such health challenges to deal with and now look at them both, just loving life and making the most of the day. BRAVO!!! Makes me want to go do some play bows and roll around in the sunshine too!

Oh Sally! Those videos make me so happy!! I love to see Myrtle doing so well, getting around so well. you wouldn't know she was blind watching those. and yes, Frankie is most certainly Frankie. Wouldn't have it any other way.
Huge reward for what you all have gone through in the last couple of years. My heart swells three sizes bigger seeing Myrtle so happy!
Mega hugs to you and your pack!

Cancer returned as of emergency visit on day 931. 15 days later, he gained his wings 04/18/2020 due to congestive heart failure. He will always watch over his fellow tripawds and their hoomins with Head Scritches and Sand Paper Kisses.
