If you missed it, please check it out! It's beautiful and, of course, the pictures of Brendol are splendid!
Jerry taught me to check the "blogs" button inthe little black line under the banner. That's where all the blogs go once they're off the frong page. I always feel badly when I see one that has no responses because I kow it just means no one got a chance to see it. And I hope the "bloggers" understand that too:-)
I just now had a chance to look at Karma's letter to Brendol, and it is soooo beautiful. Yes folks, hop on over there and remember you can always catch up on the blogs by just visiting "Tripawds.com/blogs" The blogs have been super busy lately so there's a lot of great reading there.
Karma this picture really surprised me, she looked so different as a young kid!

Yeah, she was a lot more muscular in her younger years. Everyone always thought she was a boy.
Adelaide is a young tripawd Husky, from an injury. Her amp was on 10/1/12. She has 4 sisters, Aissa (a senior border collie/chow), Maggie May (a puppy Great Pyrenees), Mathilde and Morrigan and 1 baby brother, Bagheera. We are all watched over by our angel Brendol, who was dx with OSA 1/30/13, amp on 2/6/13, and left us on 8/20/13.

It’s hard to believe, but it has already been two months since Brendol left. (Which means today is Sassy's two months gone too). It still feels like yesterday. And today was a beautiful and cool October day, which would have been a day that Brendol would have loved playing outside and then snuggling up with me on the couch as we watched terrible sci-fi flicks.
We are all moving on as we should. But there isn’t a day that I don’t think about my baby B. May she be happy and healthy, playing with all her friends at the bridge.

Brendol girlie... sending you kisses above in the air.. and feel free to pass them on to all our furkids up there having a grand old time!!
Can you just imagine the she-nan-a-kins that is going on up there with all our tripawds together? lol I could just imagine them all lying around chewing on some pig ears and comparing their pawrents...
" oh yea.." Franklin would say.. " all I had to do was fart to clear the room.. it was great! Finally peace and quiet when they were all gone so I could get some sleep!!"
Of course, the rest of them would be chuckling.. and possibly even lying on their backs laughing with their legs (all FOUR of them) waving in the air!!
Makes me smile...
Christine..... with Franklin in her heart♥
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!

Karma, we miss her, too. We felt her spirit before and we feel it now. Run free, dear Brendol!
~ Katy & Jackson
ACL tear in right hind leg 12/5/12 and scheduled ACL repair surgery 12/21/12. Pre-op xrays revealed osteosarcoma. Amputation 12/28/12. Chemo (carboplatin) started Jan 10, 2013 and ended on April 5, for a total of 5 doses. He handled carbo like a champ! No side effects. We started metronomic therapy at his third chemo and have been also doing some holistic treatments. He's a lively, playful 10 year old huskie-boarder collie and a very proud member of the Winter Warriors! Our love. Our funny little guy!
