LOOK!! See for yourselves! That's a rib, right?? Hmmm.....or is it fat rolls?? I'm gonna fatten her up with a bone just in case! I'll give it to her laying by the woodstove so she doesn't have to over-exert herself! Too much exercise might cause another rib to show

Oh no Hannah I think you have an eating disorder!

Yes, those look like ribs to me...ribs with lots and lots of padding on them! Happy Hannah should have lots of extra treats and bones. It's very important to keep that padding on her ribs!
Hugs,
Carol

When I read your title I fully expected to see Happy Hannah with a slab of ribs on a plate in front of her! "Hannah's Ribs" 
Liberty (Libby) was diagnosed with OSA on 1-22-13. Right front amputation on 1-31-13. No IV Chemo. Metronomic Therapy started 2-19-13 along with supplements and some home cooking. Lungs clear until 1-06-14. She's still her happy, hoppy, bossy self. Living the dog life to the fullest and a proud Winter Warrior. :) RIP my Libby 4-21-03 to 3-19-14

I thought it would be those deer ribs that Hannah seems to favor. Poor Hannah...wasting away to immense!
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!
Tucker says he prefers his women to appear Rubenesque!
You are a beautiful girl lovely Miss Happy Hannah!
