Calpurnia wanted to celebrate her 14th birthday with a run with the team. Here is a short video:
We arranged her line so she could ride in the sled when she got tired, or run with the team if she wanted to. Who says old 3-legged dogs can't lead active lives?

(sorry if my post shows up multiple times - it kept not saving it, so I'm hoping the third time is the charm!)
Holly joined the world of tripawds on 12/29/2009. She has a big little sister, Zuzu, who idolizes Holly and tries to make all of her toys into tripawds in Holly's honor. And she's enjoying life one hop at a time!

Cali is the three legged one hopping along in back, though you might never notice by the way she is keeping up with the pack! 🙂
