Wow…. in just two short months, Queen Nova will be reaching her 3 YEAR AMPUVERSARY. I simply can't believe that she has she had thrived this long, but I am so very thankful. At the end of September, on the 25th, there will be a "Paws of Hope" picnic at the Animal Cancer and Imaging Center here in Canton, MI, where Nova had her amputation and treatment nearly 3 years ago. We are so excited to attend so that we can give hope to others that are just starting their battles with osteosarcoma. We have had no health crises (with Nova at least) for so long, sometimes I forget she was even sick. The blindness has definitely slowed her down, but she continues to be happy and healthy.

Here are a few pictures of the Queen and her new "royal" collar, which was created by http://www.collarshop.org. She also has a hot pink zebra stripe collar, but has been wearing the royal one in honor of her latest ampuversary.

And here's a close up of her new collar:

Totally amazing! Keep on going Queen Nova! You are an inspiration to wee Tripawd Princesses everywhere!

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.
