Wishing all of my new and old tripawd friends a very Merry Christmas! I've been a tripawd before the word was "cool" (or invented for that matter!) so I just want to let the newbie tripawds know that if this is your first Christmas – it's gonna be a swell one because Tripawds get lots of gifts and treats for Christmas!
My mommy shot this last night but since she needs bifocals, she didn't see I had some crud in my eye! (thanks mommy – see if I tell you if you have lipstick on your teeth next time!)

Oh, and she said I have to post the 2nd picture, too but she doesn't know I photoshopped it first!
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.

Comet Rocks!
My personal opinion is that Monkeybutt is jealous because he isn't a tripawd - I know Duke ks jealous, he told me so.
Merry Christmas to Comet & Rocket. We so love being entertained by the two of you.

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas, Comet! That is an adorable picture of you - and my mom said to say she wouldn't have noticed the crud in your eye even with bifocals on!
Sending big hugs to my bff,
Jolly Holly
PS - did you know I have a theme song? 
But I'm not sure why mom only plays it this time of year.
Holly joined the world of tripawds on 12/29/2009. She has a big little sister, Zuzu, who idolizes Holly and tries to make all of her toys into tripawds in Holly's honor. And she's enjoying life one hop at a time!

Pssst - Rocket! It's Zuzu here. Mom stepped away and I noticed that Holly only signed her name to her post. What a pain big sisters can be! Wishing you a Merry Christmas - I'm sure Santa Dog was really good to you since you are one awesome pup!
Sending big wet kisses from your buddy Zuzu

Aw, Comet, you're gorgeous even with crud in your eye. (Riley gets crud in his eyes all the time so he finds it particularly attractive in others).
