Awesome!!!! Shelby loved bananas too .... I bet she and Hannah are sharing frozen chocolate covered bananas over the bridge right now! What a lucky girl, Hannah! She got a whole banana where Shelby got a sliver! 🙂
She was so gentle with you. Thank you for sharing!
Hugs!

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
Oh sweet Hannah, I love seeing that mug pop up again! So gentle and sweet

Sally, I remember Ms Hannah being a monkey. 🙂 
I need to give Snickers some more banana she actually liked it. Sassy wasn't a fruit or veggie type of a dog unless it was in her canned food.
Miss you Hannah.
Hugs & love

Hannah the Monkey, oh how we love seeing your ecstasy over eating something so simple as a banana!
Wyatt Ray loves bananas too, and we don't mind giving them to him 'cause they're nutritious. Someone told me they stop diarrhea too but I'm not so sure about that.

Happy Hannah!!!!!! It is so GREAT to see you beautiful girl! We all miss you, and I just KNOW you, Jake, Shelby and the rest of the gang are giving those angels a run for their money! I hope that's one of my jobs as an angel, to hang out with the pups at the bridge 
. Tanner loves bananas too, we share one every morning.

Thanks so much for posting the antics of our beloved Happy Hannah
Love the tail wagging and the slurping
I just love to see everything that you share, Sally! Hugs to you!!
Love,
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.

WOO HOOOOOO! I LOVE that Linda!! Yeah, thaLovely Miss Hannah is quite creative!
And if she can influence any dog to EAT, then that's one hapoy fluffy girl!!!
I'm sure Tucker's thought bubble was of he and his Lovely Miss Hannah singing' "Hey, hey, we're the monkies....people say we're monkey around, but we're too busy singing to put anybody down!" And yes, I realize many of youhave not eard of that song or the Monkees either!
Thanks Tucker and Linda!! When he rips some M&Ms out of your hands.....yeah, Happy Hannah's influence again!
