Thanks for sharing! Keep those pics coming!
Thanks Rene & Jim for the logos and Jerry/Wyatt pictures on my google Drive folder!! Can't wait to start putting it together.
I've been thinking.. It would be nice to add to this from time to time. I was going to research some photo albums that you can slip in 8.5x11 sheets (or maybe even a scrapbook sized book) that way we can add pages any time we have new photos we want to add.
Once I start putting together the album next week I will see how it goes and keep everyone updated! Thanks again!!

Heather...feel free to take any out of Sam's FB album you like. If you want me to actually send you specific ones, let me know, and I can pick some, too.

Sure thing - I'll make a note for myself!

You are welcome to use anything you would like from Murphy's Photobucket library, too. He is Turbotailmurph. There are several good ones on there, including the one of him in his yellow "Speedo" that is Mr. August in the calendar.
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!
What a great idea...
My three all time favourites of my sweet boy Franklin..... which I can't believe he has been gone almost a year!! I miss him so..... very..... much...... 
choose which ever one makes you smile......
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!
Thanks Kathi!
But Christine, they ALL make me smile

Heather,
A beautiful idea. I just emailed you a few of Snoop. Difficult to send just one, I love all his pictures.
Esther and her Snoop
Pick the one that looks best for the album, Heather. I can't pick, of course. All of these were in DD's moments of zen.
From abandoned puppy to Tripawd Warrior Dude, Dakota became one of the 2011 February Furballs due to STS. Our incredibly sweet friend lived with grace and dignity till he impulsively raced over the Bridge on 12-15-12.
Dakota's thoughtful and erudite blog is at http://shari.tr.....pawds.com/
Hi Heather
I just emailed you some pictures of Jersey Girl as a tripawd. Thank you for the opportunity to include her!!!
Claudia
Thanks Shari!
Esther - I just PM'd you... I don't think I got an email from you with any pictures. Can you try to send them again or upload them to flickr or photobucket and send me a link?
Thanks for all the pics everyone! I'll be sure to post the final layouts when I am done! I ordered an 8x8 scrapbook that you can expand... a lot! I am going to do a "digital scrapbook" type page and print them on my photo printer. It's both cost effective and we can add to it for later events and new additions to the pack! Yay!
I have a paper due this Sunday and a final exam next Saturday.. then I can finally do some FUN stuff!!!

Hey guys - I need some help!
I received 2 pics that didn't have a name with them and I can't seem to track them down. Can anyone identify these beautiful tripawds so I can label their pictures?
I think the first one is Libby, but I'm not positive about that:

Hi Heather, I do believe the first pic is sweet Libby, Amy's pretty pup, not completely sure though, but I do know the second one is definitely beautiful Willow, Carol's pup.
Love, Bonnie & Angel Polly
P.S. Just checked, not Libby for the first pic, she was a front amp, and also a choc girl....could be Murphy, this is a rear amp and looks like a black Lab ......
Yup - the second one is Willow!!!

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
