Hi Everyone, 

Just wanted to quickly post to shout out that our tripawd Marley can swim like any 4 legger! (she's missing her hind leg) We just spent the weekend in Provincetown, Mass. (Wonderful town filled with dogs – welcome on the beach year round!) I bought a life jacket for her thinking she would definitely sink to the side – she didn't even need it! Just amazing!! She is a lab – I guess I should have expected it – but once again I am so impressed! Oh, and she'll be 13 in sept! 

Yay tripawds!! 

Holly and Marley

Congratulations Marley! That is awesome. Got any movies? Sounds like a really neat vacation.

One good thing I like about the Float Coat is that later in my illness when my body was getting a little creaky but I still wanted to swim, it really gave me a second wind, and I was able to get out in the water again. So be sure to hang onto it, for those times when you just want to take it easy.

Thirteen years old is pretty darn remarkable. You rock! Keep it up.

It's better to hop on three legs than to limp on four.™
