So today marks the 3rd month that Chloe has been a tripawd! In that time she has learned to go up/down stairs like a pro, run in the soft sand, play with other dogs in the soft sand, do a two mile walk for K9 cancer and has won over the hearts of countless individuals we encounter on our beach walks!!
Chloe, here's to you!!! We are celebrating with some extra turkey/spinach/feta burger meat tonight! Plus we are having an all weekend celebration since Halloween is on Sunday!

Happy third ampuversay to both of you! She looks amazing, and we are all so proud of her AND you Nichole. The picture reminds me of Trouble, their build and coloring is so much alike (well when Trouble was young and not grey!).
Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging. RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.

Hoppy Ampuversary Chloe!!! What a gift. She looks incredible. When I saw Chloe at the K9 Cancer Walk earllier this month I could not believe how adjusted and healthy she looked.
Hats off to you, Nicole for all you have done for her. Great milestone to celebrate! You both get a medal!

Pawesome!! Happy 3 Month Ampuversary Chloe!! You look so great and you look like you are adjusting so well to the tripawd life. We can't wait to meet you in December. We will be celebrating tonight in your honor (actually we just did with some frosty paws - yea!!) Here's to many, many more ampuversaries and celebrations!! Way to go Chloe! 
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!

Nichole and Chloe,
Dad could not be happier than to hear that you are celebrating in style as you reach this great milestone. He knows that you cherish each and every day, but is very pleased that you will have an extra special celebration today. We should never take these milestones lightly, so I see that the community has joined in on the celebration with my favorite ICE CREAM. I know that I enjoyed going to the beach and we are so very happy that you are spreading the word for our Tripawd Nation!! You go Girl and live life to the maximum. Enjoy the extra turkey/spinach/feta burger meat all weekend long. You deserve it.
Spirit Cherry
