Hi everyone!
I just entered Barret into a contest on Modern Dog to win a full spread photoshoot - can you take a minute to go vote for him?
http://moderndo.....try/barret
Thanks!!
P.S. Here's a pic of him modeling some fall fashion. I can't decide if I should sew the armhole up or not, lol 
Barret was diagnosed with Hemangiopericytoma May 16, 2013. Front left leg/scapula/pectoral muscle was amputated on June 11, 2013 and we've never looked back. Follow our story on http://barret.t.....pawds.com/ and read my column on That Pet Blog

It was a hard choice, Sally. I wanted to get one where you could see that he's a tripawd, but where he looks like he's still having a good 'ole time, haha!

Just voted-Barret is so so adorable. Since the minute I saw that handsome face (those eyes!!) I just loved him.Good luck with the contest-keep us updated:)
Joan and Lily
Our beautiful Lily was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her front leg on 12/14/11 at age 8 and had amp on 12/16/11. She completed 5 rounds of carbo. She was so brave and kicked cancer's butt daily! She lived life fully for 4 years, 3 months, and 15 days after her amp. My angel is a warrior princess. I miss her so much.

51. Moving up there.
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!
