I haven't been here much lately but I always, ALWAYS get joy from the banner... Tonight it was Pofi, who was so strikingly beautiful and had such goofy ears. 🙂 Thanks so much for the banners.

I haven't been here much but when I have been... I've been seeing a lot of Ted ... The banners bring me SO much joy! Those that I "knew" ... those that I never knew and of course, my beloved. ... always visiting & sending signs!

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 love the banners too! We were all so connected through this journey, and so many of the dogs hold such as special place in my heart, even those that were angels before we joined.
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016. Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. Lung mets August 25, 2016. Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.

Yes, the banners are a wonderful tribute to our babies, all of them, and Jim is amazing at keeping their true nature and spirit immortalised.
What you did with Miss Cow was really special I was truly touched by how you captured her goofy, playful spirit in just two shots.
Thank you 💗🐮✨💫🌟🌹💗
