Cower in fear youse bubbas! I am THE Queen!!
I love me some treats!
I ALWAYS love me some treats!
After 9 years my front end shows anatomical changes
After 9 years my front end shows anatomical changes but they don't slow me down
I do have more pensive moments than I used to
I do have a few more pensive moments than I used to
And I sleep so hard sometimes Mama thinks I am dead
And sometimes I sleep so hard Mama has to check I'm still breathing!

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!
