TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.

Sally, I think he may have been actually named Blanket. I have probably made history today on the Tripaweds forum. The very first title typo!
I only wish my phone had been there. It was pretty amusing. BALNKET! I really think I have some kind of typing dyslexia. You should see some of my posts before I fix them. Never thought of checking the title before.

Lori,
This is just precious!! It's amazing she didn't bump into something being under that blanket and walking around. You're so right...what we wouldn't give to know the thoughts going through our pup's mind. I think it would be soooo fascinating.
Thanks for the chuckle and the typo...I chalk it up to our brains going faster than our fingers can keep up. I have to correct so much stuff I type as well.

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

Also giggling here !!! My father-in-law's Dachshund does this all the time, so funny!! I always try to get pics of her when she does this. Sometimes, I think our pups know exactly what they are doing, to bring a smile to our face and lives.
Thanks for sharing this with us!
Love,
Bonnie & Angel Polly
Oh Lucy...you are so cute
