Molly's original story was posted under this title: “Molly: new tripawdChesapeake Bay Retriever w/ synovial sarcoma.” This is an update.
It is nearly Molly's 1-year ampuversary, and we're celebrating with a 10-day canoe trip to the Boundary Waters. In preparation, we have done some swimming and canoeing on a local lake. We documented a little bit on video that we're sharing here:
(Hopefully we did this link correctly.)
Molly was diagnosed with Synovial Cell Sarcoma (grade 3 with hystiocytic markers) and had her front leg amputated on August 15th 2008. We had a wonderful two years with her until she passed at age 13.5 on August 29th 2010. As far as we could tell, her cancer never returned.

Oh Molly, you look wonderful! What an amazing girl you are, beating the odds and showing the world that Tripawds can swim like the fishies. Thank you for letting us know how you're doing.
You look great in your Ruffwear Float Coat! Have a great trip, and be sure to come back here and post some more videos. Enjoy!
