Are you sure that wasn't reindeer poop??? Hannah, pictures of you just make our day.
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've been making Pug Christmas cards since 2001, this year will be number 13. There is a Christmas Card page in Maggie's blog is you want to see all of them.
Here is the one I made 3 months after Mag's amp. She is dreaming of a drum stick... we used to say that the pug girls were chewing on drum sticks when they were playing and gnawing on each others back legs 
. And of course Mag has 3 paw prints on her bed.
Tri-pug Maggie survived a 4.5 year mast cell cancer battle only to be lost to oral melanoma.

We spend a good amount of time this morning just trying to get a good picture of both dogs in the EIGHT INCHES of snow that fell overnight. They were not cooperative. When one was looking, the other one wasn't and vice versa. Both of them were far too interested in playing in it rather than sitting still for a picture. So here is the best we got of Murphy. I'll post a video on his thread, just to show that I'm not so mean as to not let them have their fun.

Thank you.
Now...do you mean that I'm going to have to learn another computer- oriented thing? Photobucket, YouTube, and now photoshop??

Thanks Karen and Kathi for the photos. The Pug cards are adorable but I don't know the Photoshop thing either and Murphy is super handsome!

Awww Sally, whenever I need a smile I log on here and look for one of your posts!
I'm glad you got the one when I was one year old- sooooo many people said "I didn't know you had pugs when you were little" !!!!!!

This is from last Christmas just a couple weeks before we got Shooter's diagnosis.
Karen-with lots of hand waving and multiple "STAY-STAY-STAY" you can get 4 dogs to stay in one place. They just won't all look at the camera at the same time!
