I know I haven't been posting much in the forums under my own topics since Sassy crossed the bridge. I do update our blogs with information and stuff going on with Snickers, Bosch & Jasmine. Since Sally asked for some videos of them here ya go. I know they aren't the best but they move fast LOL.

These guys are too cute for words, Michelle! Thanks for posting!
Barret was diagnosed with Hemangiopericytoma May 16, 2013. Front left leg/scapula/pectoral muscle was amputated on June 11, 2013 and we've never looked back. Follow our story on http://barret.t.....pawds.com/ and read my column on That Pet Blog

They are getting Sooo big!! I have to assume that Bosch now has the new nickname "Cheeleader". Great fun, Michelle. Made my afternoon.
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!

I love that they all have each other. I did get to see the pics on your blog...even though I couldn't respond and even thoughit wouldn't let me see the video.....ohhhhhh, I was so frustrated! Anyway, the photo with Bosch's action shot with his mouth mid bark and either Jazz or Snickers scooting off the bed with butt up in the air...sooooooo cute!!
Michelle, you and Sassy are so important to this site. I realy hope you keep her threads and blogs going. It's so important for the "lurkers" to see her story and for the "newbies" to kow her story. Sassy is still touching and i spiring lives. We love you both!

We LOVE you and your pack and are sooooooo grateful, so very gratedulyou are here. It just wouldn't be the same without you!
