On Sunday (5/29) Sully turned 5! We were not given a lot of hope that we would see this birthday after Sully's osteosarcoma diagnosis last November. Next week will be Sully's 7 month ampuversary and he is doing wonderfully. He is still happy and running and playing. All reasons to celebrate big! 🙂
Hoppy Birthday Sully!!! 
And Happy Ampuverary too.
Thanks for the GREAT Update, please keep us posted.

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
