Mom to Tripawd Angels Jake (2001-2014) and Rosco (2012-2015) and Tripawd Tanner. “Whatever happens tomorrow, we had today; and I'll always remember it”
Oh my gosh, Elizabeth! That was absolutely wonderful! I tried to hold it together but it was just so moving, I let it all go. Thank you so much for including Libby. You are so thoughtful for taking the time to put this together. I just don't have the right words.
Hugs,
Amy & Spirit Libby
Liberty (Libby) was diagnosed with OSA on 1-22-13. Right front amputation on 1-31-13. No IV Chemo. Metronomic Therapy started 2-19-13 along with supplements and some home cooking. Lungs clear until 1-06-14. She's still her happy, hoppy, bossy self. Living the dog life to the fullest and a proud Winter Warrior. :) RIP my Libby 4-21-03 to 3-19-14
Let me try this again, I deleted the whole thing on accident! If you watch, please click OFF the ads. I disabled them but they keep appearing. Its covering up the names. I'm sorry if I left anyone out, I put this together through tears.

That was beautiful, Elizabeth. Thank you so much. Tears rolling down my face, but have to look at it again.
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!
Elizabeth,
Oh, that was so beautiful. Lots of tears over here. You are so sweet, thank you for including Willow. Thank you for making this special tribute.

Carol

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

Claudia and Angel Jersey Girl
That was very sweet... and thank you for including the poem in the end..
I started typing that many months ago after my Franklin had passed...
It is so true...
Christine... with Franklin in her heart♥
Franklin, he was the Happiest Dog on Three Legs! Diagnosed 09/26/2012 with Osteosarcoma, amputated 12/4/2012. Had a wonderful 5 1/2 months painfree until he ran for the Bridge on 5/15/2013. Always in my heart, and always a guardian angel of my pack... You can follow his Tripawd Adventures, before and after, in my blog, Frank'n'Farter!
Thank you Elizabeth for that beautiful tribute and including my sweet Maggie.
Penny
That was a beautiful tribute, Elizabeth. Thank you for sharing.
I did not often comment nor did I post here much, but I frequently read posts and blogs and of course kept up with the FB page...Its a great community. Before Sasha being diagnosed I had started a blog and kept blogging about her journey there, and now that my girl is gone I wish I had participated here more. I have to say that thanks to this page, and reading the wonderful stories of the many dogs who have survived bone cancer, I had faith that Sasha would beat the odds. It is amazing what a positive attitude can do for us and thus our dogs. I just wish I had that positivity now.
Anyhow, keep up the great work and the camaraderie.
Hugs,

Liliana, we are so very sorry, we couldn't believe it when we heard the news about Sasha. Sally is so right; anytime is a good time to be here, that's why we exist. Feel free to share her story with us. Meanwhile i've put her pic in our Angels gallery.
