Hannah!!! Where have you gone? You skinny minnie!!!! Looking good Hannah! 🙂
And Jill - I love your videos! You're buddy Jack is definitely a healthy kitty. 🙂
I can "feel" Shelby's ribs but I can't see them but I can't remember the last time I did see them. Shelby's belly is also hanging a bit low and as much as I try and get her to do some 'sit-ups' ... she doesn't have the same commitment to fitness as I do. She's embracing her senior body now!
Thank you for sharing, as always!

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

SHELBY? Doing sit-ups?? Buttercup wants to see that!!
JAY! Yeah! Greyhounds look graceful and elegant with their ribs showing... I think Bull Mastiffs have blubber tubes in place of ribs!
OKAY BAILEY!! Just remember, you'll be competing with a Diva Plus-sized Model, well-muscled, brawny, voluptuous, curvy, big boobed (eight of them) coogar who slobbers when she kisses!!! Just sayin'....... You hang in there Bailey and you'll be showing newbies how it's done!!
Love to ALL
Sally and Happy Hannah

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
