Hello everybody xx
Today is our second month's ampuversary and I thought I'd share some hoppy moments with you!
Here is Eurydice with her new friend Pudding.
Days like this fill my heart with joy !

Holistic route April 2017. Lung X-ray 5 May 2017 showed several tennis ball size mets, started cortisone and diuretics. Miss Cow earned her XXL silver wings 12 June 2017, 13 months and 1 week after amputation and 6 1/2 months after lung mets, she was the goofiest dawg ever and is now happily flying from cloud to cloud woof woofing away :-)

Those are joyful videos indeed. Not sure I'll see anything cuter today than Eurydice and Pudding!! What a sweetie she is.

On October 27, 2016, nearly 6 months after amputation, and 18 months since his cancer likely started, we lost Pofi to a recurrence of Soft Tissue Sarcoma in his spine quite suddenly. His canine sister also succumbed to cancer on March 1, 2019 - we lavished her with our love in the interim, but life was never quite the same without her only real canine friend. Cliff kitty had to leave us, too, suddenly, in August 2019. Lucia kitty grieved all these losses, but helped us welcome two new Lurchers into our home and our lives, Shae and Barley.
Thank you Lisa and Jerry, she sure was a happy bunny today

Hoppy ampuversary!
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016. Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. Lung mets August 25, 2016. Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.
Hoppy Ampuversary Eurydice! Looking great!

Happy two months Eurydice! Here's to many, many, many more!
I love the videos- it's great how Eurydice lets Pudding do all the work. The same thing happens here sometimes, only at my house the wild young one is my Tripawd Elly. She and quad pug Obie romp and play sometimes, but Obie is almost 10 so doesn't have the energy Elly does. When Elly gets manic and starts racing around the house Obie usually stands still and just waits for her to come back around. If she slows down enough he will engage with her, but if she is still zooming he waits until the next lap around the house is done.
Karen and the Spirit Pug Girls
Tri-pug Maggie survived a 4.5 year mast cell cancer battle only to be lost to oral melanoma.
1999 to 2010
Thank you Karen
Yes, our dogs are quite clever, hey? It is so much better having more than one so we can see them play and interact all the time !
Sadly, having a huge dog doesn't really make it possible for me to get my girl a fluffy friend as I travel a lot and cannot see how we could manage if there was Eurydice I and II 
Sending you a huge hug and mini cuddles to your mini gorgeous doggies

Eureka!! She's got that pup just a running. It was so cute when she went down on the ground to Puddings level. What loves. I hope they meet up again.
Here's to more happy days in the park
Kerren and the cats
Yes, she always lies down when small dogs are around.
It is not Pudding's case as she was playful since second one but the smaller and more nervous the dogs are the quicker she lies down and does not bat an eyelid until they are comfortable with her gigantic size.
Her favourite breed are chihuahuas believe it or not
And she adores cats even more than dogs I am sure she would love Mona and Eli although they might not be so excited with her 
Sending you a big hug and cuddles to your gorgeous kitties
