Just letting you know I'm going to be MIA for a couple of weeks. I'm leaving on Monday for a couple of weeks going with friends for a much needed vacation to the Gulf Coast. So nope you aren't getting rid of me for good just a few weeks 😀 It's been a really tough 7 months and a recharge is needed. Love you all!

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
Have fun Linda!
Ill be in Tampa 3/15-3/20, theres just something about a gulf beach that helps to heal....

Thanks so much guys! Sally Sally Sally you know I haven't figured out the picture posting thingy yet. Oh wait that reminds me didn't YOU just get promoted to TSS? Well alrighty then I guess I'll have to send them to our new TSS to post 😂😂. Looks like our sweet Rene will get a break from all us 'putter illiterates. Deb you are so right the ocean has such healing qualities for me too. I could watch it and listen to it forever. Alison you're so lucky to live close to the ocean. Deb you have a fantastic time too in Tampa! Sally we plan on starting home on the 23rd. John doesn't like to travel so he'll be staying with Riley & Ollie the energizer bunny, but I'm betting Bob will be stopping in to just to check on things for me 😀 Talk to you guys after the 23rd!

Barney used to tour, coast to coast and around the world. But then he went missing for a year so Tripawds HQ decided it was time to retire him. Check out the Kill Barney Tour here.
