Today would have been our 1 year ampuversary. I know she isn't here with us today on earth but she is still here so I will celebrate this day. I had planned to take it off even before she passed so I still did. In her honor I am doing a few things I knew she would love to do. I probably will take Bosch & Snickers for a ride around the lake, maybe do some ice cream from DQ.
Last year at this time I was waiting nervously wondering how she would do and praying that nothing serious would happen during the surgery. She made it out great proved everyone wrong from her amputation forward. We beat many many odd just not the stupid met one but I DO NOT regret anything that we did. Happy Ampuversary Baby

Awww, Sassy. We miss you, too.
Kathi and murphy
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!

thanks Michelle for posting this celebration in the forums
As I already said on your blog, you were one of the people who I "met" in the chat room on the day of Tucker's surgery almost two months ago - only a few weeks after the loss of your beautiful Sassy.
You truly embody the spirit of this site - you continue to help and support people who are on this journey - albeit one that they didn't necessarily want to be on - even though you have had a great loss!
Thanks for sharing Sassy with me - and the many lessons you learned from her.
Happy ampuversary Angel Sassy.
