Her quality as she and I have defined together for her may be starting to change some now but that's not stopping her from pawtying!
As alsways, Happy Hannah and I honor and celebrate the lives of the brave heros who have crossed over
From our hearts, thank you for love and support!

Hoppy ampuversary, Hannah. Here's wishing you many, many more!
Love, Kathi and Murphy
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!

Yay, Sally and Happy Hannah!! Very Happy, Hoppy, 13 months! I firmly believe in celebratory steak and ice cream, and cupcakes (chocolate) for dessert. The videos are just so sweet, and yes, something you will always have to treasure of very happy days. She surely enjoys her special celebrations and yummy meals.
We are all so hoping for many more celebrations for Happy Hannah, and wonderful videos to see how much she enjoys everyday. Each day together is a special joy, so just keep enjoying every moment possible.
You and Happy Hannah are in my hearts, always......

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
