I had some time to put together some pictures of my pooches on a nine hour flight! Enjoy!

Levi was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma 7-7-11 Ampuversary 10-14-11 Lung Mets Discovered 1-4-12. Chemo seemed to not be working so we switched to Artemisinin and other supplements. So far so good...

A great Christmas indeed! What a sweet video. Did I ever tell you how crazy we are about Levi's ears? Love 'em!

We were going to put your vid on You Tube but it's not public (it's unlisted). If you make it public we can put it on our Tripawds playlist to.

Thanks for the hoppy movie. A nine hour flight? Hope you went somewhere nice like Hawaii!

I'm glad you all liked it! You guessed it Jerry we are in Hawaii celebrating a great year in Real Estate. I'm not sure about putting this video public. I made it for my fellow Tripawd parents. I'm not sure I want the world to see me in my Little Bo Peep costume. Lol.
I picked the song because it was out on radio this summer right after Levi was diagnosed. A few of the lines in the song really rang true. 30 days and 30 nights been putting up a real good fight. Also, the "one is one too many, one more is never enough" really applies to anyone that is sick with a terminal disease. You hate to watch some one suffer but you hate to let them go… I do love Kenny of course too. So, this became my "Levi song" I had it on myipod and would go run without Levi and just sob and sob while I listened to this song running along the side of the road.

Great video. He looks like such a happy boy! Love the sheep shots!

Thanks for sharing it with us. Keep hopping, Levi. Keep hoping, Levi's pawrents!
Jackie, Abby's mom

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman.
