All the Starbucks employees gathered at the wkndow tk watch her enjoy her Puppy latte'. Fortunately, no one has gotten out of their cars and clobbered me..so far they've actually been taking pictures of her with their cell phone!

Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!

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

This is too funny. Love the Santa hat.
At some Tim Hortons drive-throughs in Canada people pay it backward, which means when they order at the speaker they also state they will pay for the order for the vehicle behind. The vehicle behind doesn't know until they get to the window. It would be fun to buy a Puppy Latte for when we see a dog in the vehicle behind when paying for their order. I'll keep my eyes open.
Sally, what is in a Puppy Latte?

Oh my doggie this is so funny! Who could be mad at watching Myrtle Mae devour a latte?
I thought she was going to eat the cup!
