How pawsome! What a happy, tappy dog Sammy is! Full of smiles! 
Hugs,
Holly, Zuzu and Susan
Holly joined the world of tripawds on 12/29/2009. She has a big little sister, Zuzu, who idolizes Holly and tries to make all of her toys into tripawds in Holly's honor. And she's enjoying life one hop at a time!

I love it, I love it! I used to take tap dancing lessons when I was a kid. I love that sound, it's so happy! Sammy "Mr. Happy Tappy Toes" is a beautiful boy. I didn't realize how big he is until I saw him next to his people! Elizabeth, are you sure you covered the camera? Maybe you covered the power button instead 
. Sammy, I'm so glad everyone will get to see how happy and healthy you are now

Spirit Sadie's pack
Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.

Thanks Holly, he sure is happy! Thats one of the things I love so much about him. Life can be hard but when I come home he is so full of joy and so happy to see me that it magically takes away the other stuff and leaves me with just love.
Hugs, Elizabeth

What a pawsome video! I can't get over how much Sammy looks like Spirit Tori. They could have been siblings. Hoppy 3 month ampuversary! We'll celebrate with some ice cream tonight.
Dear Sammy and Elizabeth,
I have been away from the computer for a few days and logged in tonight and was delighted to see the fantastic video. My smile was as big as Sammy's!! Cometdog you have done it again, capturing a loved ones essence and choosing just the right music ! You are truly gifted.
It pleases me so much for everyone to get a glimpse of my friend Sammy and his terrific smile, he has been through quite a lot in his life, but the day Elizabeth took him into her heart and home the world changed. I have been so lucky to know them (and the hubby too), and now you all can see what a wonderful guy that my friend Sammy is.
When I met Elizabeth she told me that she had no good pictures of her sweet boy. Can't say that any more can you sister ?????
He is a star!!
