Our little Baxter is at the two month mark!!!
We've changed so much in his two months.
He is awesome, fantastic, wonderful, amazing! Our precious boy has never slowed down and adapted all his activities to work without the "extra" leg. And taught us many a lesson since his surgery.
I look back to the week of his accident and surgery and can't believe how ridiculous I was- days spent upset and crying and thinking his life was going to be impossible and difficult and he was going to be a handicap dog and how were WE going to manage- I was such a DORK! I know all of you told me he would be fine, but I thought you were just trying to be supportave and encouraging and YOU WERE RIGHT, LOL!
If we humans could only live our lives the way these dogs are trying to teach us. Thank you all so much for getting me thru all of this till I could see how perfectly ok Baxter was going to be!!

Baxter's people, Sonya

Happy Anniversary, Baxter. Here's to many more milestones and celebrations. Keep showing your mommy how it's done (us mommies will wear the dork hat all day long if it means seeing our pups do something to leave us awesomely speechless!)

Lisa and Zeus

Zeus is an 11.5 year old Husky mix who was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in Nov. 2011 and underwent a front right leg amputation on 12/1/11. A wonderful furbaby with the most gentle spirit who is in the fight of his life. http://zeuspod......pawds.com/

Bravo to you and Baxter!

You weren't being ridiculous at ALL…those emotions are so normal, every human here has experienced them when faced with amputation for their best friend.

Now that you have this knowledge, pass it along to others. Live life to the fullest, appreciate every single minute and just be hoppy! After all, today is all we have. Why not make the most of it, just like Baxter?

Congrats!!!! You graduated from Doggy U.

That's cuz tripawds lie through their teeth and their missing upper lips! Bwahahahhahhahhahahhahhahhahahhahahhahahhahhahha!

Hey Baxter! Look at me! I'm the off-white version of you or you're the black version of me! The difference (other than the obvious) is ……..I'm cool. You not.

Monkeydogs are cool. Tripawds drool!

Bwhaahahhahahhahhahaaaaaahhhaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The monkeydogs have invaded in the TriPawd State thanks to my Angel sister Comet, the deformed three legged Tripawd! I'm the King of all Monkeydogs! You too can join the Monkeydog Federation is you have 4 legs! (NOT 3!!!) Our job is to get attention since stooopid tripawds get too much attention! 2011 was the Year of the Bunny! 2012 is the Year of the Pirate!

Congratulations. Two months is pawesome. It's so amazing to be a Tripawd Mama. I'm glad you are seeing that now.

All the best,
Jackie, Angel Abby's mom

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman.
