Rumbles, like many boxers does a crazy dance when he's happy...we call it the Jellybean Dance. We were recently invited to a photoshoot at totophoto in Brooklyn. And Rumbles did not hesitate to display the Jellybean! Here are some shots...they make me LOL.

Oh my dog! So cute! We await a video...
Jackie, Abby's mom
Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!

Oh, he had a great time that day! He put all of his 'elderly gentleman' energy into the show and then he was so completely exhausted that he slept all the way home in the car and plunked back down for hours after we got home.
(elderly gentleman is his surgeon's term for a 10 year old boxer...we don't really agree). 🙂

that is so awesome! It makes me laugh 🙂 Sammy has a "happy happy dance" which isn't the same dance as Rumbles but it is the same expression I think, just pure happy joy! I love seeing the pics and hope that there is a video to go with.

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.

I Love it!
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.
