The lovely Miss DC JACK knows how much Merry Myrtle likes her Starbucks Puppy Latte. Jack knows she doesn't have a paying job and has trouble getting one because she doesn't have a driver's license! Oh Myrtle has taken the driver's test several times but she keeps failing the driving part. Everytime she's at a stop light, she sees a Starbucks, she runs the red light to get to the drive thru!
THANK YOU JACK!!!! That was soooo thoughtful...soooo kind! As you'll see, Myrtle is having a ball using it! LOOK!

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

I agree with the others, this community is like no other !! Sally, you have the amazing ability to make me laugh even when I am in a not-so-good mood, I can just picture Merry Myrtle taking a driving test, tell her to hang in there, she will eventually pass if some of these human drivers out there are any indication, lol 😂
I know she will be enjoying those puppy latte's, and I just love her face !!
Love to all,

I agree with all of you! Love these videos (which I was able to watch on the iPad, BTW) and this whole community!
Kathi and the Turbotail April Angel...and the Labradork
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!
