QuoteMolly, the nearly 13-year-old Chesapeake Bay Retriever, celebrated her 1-year ampuversary with humans Doug and Heidi by taking a 10-day canoe trip in the Boundary Waters of Minnesota this summer. She spent the time between difficult portages resting in the front of the canoe. At camp, Molly took every available opportunity to swim using her Ruffwear Floatcoat. Selected videos are shared here. Many more can be found on youtube.com by searching for user "chessiehound." Comments are welcome and encouraged.
We hope Molly's success story provides hope and inspiration for so many others going through what the three of us endured last summer. She still shows no signs of slowing down as she approaches her 13th birthday this January.
Completely awesome guys! Way to go Molly.
You are definitely sharing the message that not only Tripawds can have a good life, but the older ones also!
Cheers!
Kim
It is hard to know where to start, so first is congratulations upon reaching such a wonderful milestone. Every day is worthy of celebration but reaching the one year mark is worthy of a very special celebration. While we may be late (not know exactly when Molly's apuversary occured), we will be raising our glasses and celebrating vicariously with you.
One of my pet inputs is to remember to treat the spirit as well as the body. Find something that our TriPawds love and exploit that love to provide purpose in their lives. There is no better example of the point that I try to make than Molly, Doug, and Heidi. Molly is clearly loving every moment and it not only provides an excellent quality to Molly's life, but it provides her with the desire to fight. There may be another trip just around the corner of the calendar.
We tip our hats in admiration and reverence to you. Thanks for sharing and providing encouragement and inspiration to all of us newbees. (We will not make our one year for another four weeks.)
