Yeah, I'm pretty sure Comet has kept her job! 
Thankfully, Mr. VQ is NOT a surgeon!
Congrats to my big guy on 2 months!
"I don't know where I am."
Now there is one big happy boy loving life. Happy 2 month ampuversary Charlie! Here's to many more. 
Jo Ann & Tasha
Tasha 8 years old, First cancer diagnosis 6/26/09, Last cancer diagnosis 9/26/09, Amputation 10/01/09, Loving our girl moment by moment.
Tasha lost her battle and became my Angel on May 4 2011. Forever in my heart….
I keep thinking: Those worried about stairs, take a look! As one can see, he goes way too fast, however he used to do that with four legs and was known to fall then! Yeah, he's taken a couple face plants. I wasn't home when the video was taken today. I always tell Charlie to slow down and try hard to not get him too excited (unlike Mr. VQ).
Side note to Admin: I did it! I did it! Didn't need no stinkin' help, either! Although it did take me a couple hours to figure it out. 
"I don't know where I am."
What a great 2 month ampuversary video!! Charlie is so amazing!! He is just one beautiful big boy! Loved it!! Happy ampuversary Charlie - you are doing so well. Here's to many many more ampuversaries! 
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
Well Cometdog is proud! I think Mr. VQ got the job done very well! (Hey, it was in focus and that's the most important part)!
I hope Mr. VQ was going to get ice cream so you could celebrate the 2 months! If not....TAKE 2 !!
Happy Ampuversary Charlie - you are doing so well and are amazing!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Woooowwwww! He looks so hoppy and like he's just LOVING life! Although charging down the stairs like that scares the pants offa me, he does look pretty darn coordinated.
Wonderful to see, thanks for sharing.

Charlie - HAPPY 2-MONTH AMPUVERSARY!! Wow. When you want to go for a ride, you REALLY want to go for a ride. NOW.
And taking those stairs like that - a heart-stopper!! Great balance I must say.
Hope Charlie had a great day! Congrats again.

I'm so sorry I missed Charlie's 2 month ampuversary yesterday. That short video made me laugh, smile and even shed a tear of admiration. What an awesome pup Charlie is. Down the stairs and in we go! Just wonderful, thanks so much for sharing this with us.
Happy 2 months Charlie.
