Ann, thanks so much for your kindness and generosity and time! Never mind my farm grungy self, but you gotta love how Atlas's tail never stops wagging the whole time! He was really going crazy and pushing me over, took me a minute to remember you said you used Elgin as a model....Boy could Atlas smell him! Too much fun! And I think with just a little longer Velcro strap we'll be in business. Thanks again, so very much!

Oh Atlas what a good boy you are! Did the envelope taste good? 
That is so cool that Elgin's Momma made that for you. We know she's onto something with this invention of hers, it's so badly needed by a lot of Tripawds.

Patricia, that's such a beautiful video.....the love, the joy....it's just such a reflection of finding happiness in the moment of simplicity. I just love that video:-)
That Atlas sure gets his bucket list filled every time you give him a present to open. He doesn't care what's in it....he just dogs the journey with enthusiasm while reaching his goal!!
WONDERFUL JOB ATLAS! You are an amazing soul! May you keep opening presents of joy every second of everyday!

AWWWWWWW! Although it doesn't fit quite right here, I don't care: he's SO perfect!!! Nice setup you got there, Big Guy!
~ 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!
