Today is Thanksgiving here in America, a day for us to reflect back on all that we have, and show our gratitude to the Universe for all of the gifts in our life. Well, I don't know if we show it enough, but today and always, we want you all to know we are deeply thankful for all that YOU do to make the world a better place for animals and our humans.
In this crazy, hectic world, it's nothing short of a miraculous gift for someone to take time from their busy life to come here and do things like cheer on a Tripawd in recovery, celebrate a poop, or be a rock to lean on during hard times. Dog knows that when we head down that amputation journey, we need folks who "get it" more than ever. Thank you for finding room in your life to be here when you can.
Little did you know when you first signed on as a member, that you would be changing the world, hop by hop, by making it easier for people during one of life's ruffest times. Without your support and participation to help keep Tripawds online, this community would never have grown into the helpful resource it has become.
Today, we give thanks to everyone here, and all that you do for the Tripawds Nation.
3 Paws Up! Hoppy Thanksigiving everypawdy!
xoxo

Yay for poop!
Thank you for giving us all a safe place to vent, freak out, celebrate and mourn as we go down this path. We are far-flung and all over the world yet in many ways are a family. As much as I regret the losses that so many of us have experienced, I am still grateful to know the truly special people here.

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.

I am thankful for the opportunity to participate and share in a community where there is love and respect without the drama that accompanies so many other forums. I am so very thankful for the many friendships that have originated for me with other folks who have been on this journey.

I am a little late to this party, but I am also VERY thankful for this tripawd family. I don't know what I would have done without all of you and your support. Thank you for creating a community where we can come to vent and cry and get support.

Another late party goer here. I think hugapitbull said it best "a place of love and respect without the drama". Such a brilliant and awesome community. We dont do thanksgiving in NZ but i still hugely grateful to everyone on here
