A couple of short clips of My Pal Merry Myrtle Mae as she "opens" her Halloween contest reward. Through the computer screen, she is sharing her bag of goodies with every single entry...ALL WINNERS!!
We're still working on "wait". I know, "wait" is not letting her be all dog, but she doesr seem to mind appeasing me in this one area!
Merry Myrtle "patiently" checking out her presents:

Merry Myrtle! Masters the Art of Waiting!!!:

Oh Myrtle you are just the cutest!!! I just want to kiss that beautiful face of yours.
I love the "waiting" video clip...her facial expression is just precious.
And she is one determined pup to get into her goody bag that's for sure!
Hugs to you both!

May you finally be healthy and running free at the Rainbow Bridge. Until we meet again my sweet boy!
OMG ... Loved the first one where she jumped at the screen. Didn't expect that and to have that much dog coming at you! LOL ... too funny! She's a gentle giant for sure but motivated.
Love these!!! Myrtle ... you know how to make us all smile (especially your mama),.... enjoy your treats special girl. You deserve them all!
Much love,

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
Oh how I love that beautiful slobbery sweet face!! The video of her being a very good girl waaaaiiiiittttttiiiinnnngggggg for her treats was priceless !! I agree with Alison, M.M. Is a gentle giant for sure.......!! Her initials are M&M !! That's what she was looking for in the goodie bag !!
Merry Myrtle always brightens my day.......... : )
Much Love,
Bonnie & Angel Polly
I don't know how I could look at that face and tell her she has to wait. She just has the MOST expressive face ever. And she takes it so very gently! Myrtle, you take first prize in more than just the Halloween contest.
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!
We love Miss Myrtle May. She is absolutely adorable. Smoooooooshes!!
Karma, Adelaide and the crew, and our always angel Brendol
Adelaide is a young tripawd Husky, from an injury. Her amp was on 10/1/12. She has 4 sisters, Aissa (a senior border collie/chow), Maggie May (a puppy Great Pyrenees), Mathilde and Morrigan and 1 baby brother, Bagheera. We are all watched over by our angel Brendol, who was dx with OSA 1/30/13, amp on 2/6/13, and left us on 8/20/13.
You can read their stories at http://adelaide.tripawds.com and http://brendol.tripawds.com
WOW! I thought she was going to jump out of my screen and eat me!
Too funny, glad she liked her prezzies! Thanks for sharing.

Dang if that Ms Myrtle isn't the cutest thing ever. And she says "hey I waited with my prize winning costume and I ain't waiting no more" "Give me that cookie and no one will get hurt" She's too cute, love those pics.
