Tomorrow will be a year since Cora's first ampuversary. Can you believe that??? A year ago, she was a tiny, 3-month old who only walked in halting circles. 3 years ago she had not quite stepped into my life. I am not going to say too much right now, because in 10 days, my stubborn, wonderful, silly, fiesty girl will have been in my life for a year. I am tearing up already thinking about it. So be prepared for a post full of joy and emotion.
In the mean time. Some cute pictures...
I wanted to go to bed last night. Cora wanted to play.
And from a bit ago, Cora and Floyd. They've bonded

Awww Chris. Hoppy Ampuversary & Anniversary for adopting Cora. You both have come a long ways in learning in this journey. Just think that you have proved A LOT of people & vets wrong about Cora. She can learn and has continued to learn new things and experience new things and a new journey in her life. We love to hear about Cora.
Thank you for sharing the pictures and Cora with us. 
Hugs

Lungs clear until 1-06-14. She's still her happy, hoppy, bossy self. Living the dog life to the fullest and a proud Winter Warrior. :) RIP my Libby 4-21-03 to 3-19-14

WOW! One year??? Congratulations! This is HUGE. To think about how far this girl has come, about the obstacles that were in her way, about all of the ups and downs and twists and turns...you both deserve a HUGE round of applawse for your determination and courage. You chose a very difficult path that few people are courageous enough to follow, but there is no greater reward than seeing the amazing life that Cora has now. You two are simply pawesome!!!!
HOPPY AMPUVERSARY CORA!

Hi everyone, today is Karmies one year ampuversary, last Dec she was diag with bone cancer in her right front leg, and Jan5 2013 I had surgery performed and her right front leg and part of her shoulder removed. Then we got her 6 chemo sessions and a couple of scans on the chest and as of today she is cancer free. People who see her are inspired by her fight she doesn't care she has 3 legs she does everything and other dog can do, she loves to swim and play with sticks. We are so thankful to be her parents we love her so much. Her next scan is Feb 14th, hopefully they come back clear we are always nervous on the days before the chest scans. We are thankful for the Tripawds site it was very helpful in making decisions and making our lives brighter because we get to spend more time with Karmie. Thanks Jerry for everything you do. Karmies mom and dad

Joan and Lily
Our beautiful Lily was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her front leg on 12/14/11 at age 8 and had amp on 12/16/11. She completed 5 rounds of carbo. She was so brave and kicked cancer's butt daily! She lived life fully for 4 years, 3 months, and 15 days after her amp. My angel is a warrior princess. I miss her so much.
