For our fellow Tripawders that don't keep up with blogs, Ginger's mom is having major brain surgery today. We are hoping Dad or Ginger will update us soon.
In the meantime, let's send out the best and most pawsitive tripawd thoughts to her!
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.

Sending lots of pawsitive and healing thoughts your way and lots of golden hugs too! 
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!

Ginger's blog was just updated and Ginger's Mom made it through the surgery just fine and is in recovery. That is wonderful news!

Thank you to everybody for your pawsitive thoughts. I think they helped Annie come through just fine. She is now resting but in a lot of pain. All worth it we hope. Thankfully, the hospital has free wi-fi. We will keep you updated.
Thanks again,
Brian and Ginger

Awesome, pawsome news.
And since Alberta is sometimes called the Texas of Canada (we're similar in size, I've heard ), I'm sending some Albertan healing wishes too.
Get well soon!
