We want Baby Hannah! We want Baby Hannah!
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!

Well I don't know if I did the picture right but here's adorable Maggie. Her first trip to the beach. She wasn't crazy about the water but she did dig the sand (get it, dig, really dig).

OK, after looking at all these pictures it appears to me like cats and dogs are born with adult sized ears and they grow into them!

I do believe you're right about the ears, Karen. As long as we can post "brother" pictures, here is one of Gentleman Gus as a pup.
