Yesterday was Piper's 1 year ampuversary! He's doing GREAT and Loving Life on 3 Legs
! We celebrated with a cupcake and a (failed attempt) photo shoot! 
We stay very busy and aren't on the forums as much as in the beginning, but we follow the Tripawds fb page everyday and can't thank everyone enough for all the hope, information, encouragement and inspiration we've been given.
Looking forward to many more years with our special pup!
Hoppy Ampuversary sweet boy!

Congrats to you both! I hope we can one day join that 1 year club!
Liberty (Libby) was diagnosed with OSA on 1-22-13. Right front amputation on 1-31-13. No IV Chemo. Metronomic Therapy started 2-19-13 along with supplements and some home cooking. Lungs clear until 1-06-14. She's still her happy, hoppy, bossy self. Living the dog life to the fullest and a proud Winter Warrior. :) RIP my Libby 4-21-03 to 3-19-14
