Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog

I'm sorry you guys had to go through that anxiety and worry. I'm so glad to hear he's going to be ok. Bullhead City was a lot of fun. I think we decided to do it again sometime, so hopefully, we'll get a 2nd chance to meet. I'm pretty sure Ranger and I will be going back on our own sometime, I thought it was a pretty neat place. Maybe we can get together then. Im pretty sure Tasha is more Ranger's speed than Wyatt (not to say that Ranger didn't enjoy growling his discontent to the "Wild Child"
)
Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.

I'm so thankful that your son is okay. What a terrible, terrible thing. I'm so sorry for the driver that lost his life. May his family find comfort and peace in the very hard days ahead.
I'm sure it's going to be emotional for your son after his injuries recover. We'll sending emotional healing thoughts to him as well.

When I read your post I just felt so shaken - I'm sure it must be such a relief that your son had an angel watching over him. I'm just so sorry to hear about the driver. This must be so difficult.....we are thinking of you and your son and hope he has a speedy recovery.

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!

Jo Ann, so glad to hear Robbie is being released. He did have lady luck riding with him, and we are all so happy for you that he did. All things happen for a reason. He still has a purpose to serve, it may be far in the future, but when it arrives you will look back and know, and be proud.
Continued good thoughts for a speedy recovery.

"It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are."
