Merry Christmas Fortis!! I can't wait until Christmas Day! Mommy said that on Christmas Morning, her and Daddy are gonna have mimosas (I don't know what those are, but mommy had a big smile so it must be somethin' good) and we're all gonna watch Santa Paws! She also wispered something to daddy about stockings and presents, but I pretended like I didn't hear (like duh, I have the best hearing ever, but I think I fooled 'em) I sure hope Santa brings you all kinds of good stuff, 'cuz you're a really cool guy!
Have a great Christmas!
Ranger
Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.

that was so sweet! I want to bring that little guy in out of the cold. I also don't know how he managed not to eat ALL of the cookies.
Thanks for the nice suprise, here's hoping that every dog out there has a great Christmas, especially Fortis.

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.
Merry Christmas, Fortis! Thanks for sharing the cute little puppy video!
Have a Holly Jolly Christmas, from your fluffy, little fan! 
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!
