... I quit looking for it a looooooooong time ago.
Yo! Everypawdy! Yesterday was my ninth Paw Day! Yup, I've been livin' large on three for nine years! We celebrated here in Oaktown with lotsa watermelon Wooooohooooooo! I pretty much R.O.C.K. don't I???
- I am still ALL over it!
- Cower in fear youse bubbas! I am THE Queen!!
- I ALWAYS love me some treats!
- After 9 years my front end shows anatomical changes but they don't slow me down
- I do have a few more pensive moments than I used to
- And sometimes I sleep so hard Mama has to check I'm still breathing!
xoxo,
Codie Rae

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

The other's have said it all!
She's a truly beautiful dog, nine years is an amazing achievement and she has earned all the praise in the world.
I love the personality in these pictures! From the teeth in the air to the sagged in sleep, wonderful!
Long live the queen!
