I am not responsible for this, neither the new tripawd or the post. My 12-year-old, Aidan, asked me to post this here. So groan at him. He loves puns!
The story: Our poor old coffee table has given up the ghost, loved to death by many toddlers launching off of it and a couple of dogs banging into it while racing madly underneath. It has been repaired many times and I don't think there's any hope now. But when the leg fell off the other day, Aidan said "Hey, we have another tripawd! You have to post a picture!" I thought it was the funniest thing I'd heard all day. Maybe all week.

From abandoned puppy to Tripawd Warrior Dude, Dakota became one of the 2011 February Furballs due to STS. Our incredibly sweet friend lived with grace and dignity till he impulsively raced over the Bridge on 12-15-12.

Nothing a Ruff Wear harness won't take care of!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
you sure you don't have a tripawd walking around with a peg leg!!!!
My buddy Gus had a left front amputation on April 7, 2010 and lived a great life until July 26,2010

Ha! Dan, that's a wonderful idea! I hadn't though of it, but boy what a great Halloween costume that would make! How to get Dakota to let me strap that sucker onto his shoulder...

How about using a grocery bag with the sides cut open to hold it up?
