She's kicked bone cancer's butt now for over 28 months, hops around on 3 legs, and is totally blind in both eyes from glaucoma. But my 132-lb. big girl Nova is the happiest girl ever! If only we all had such pawsitive attitudes, huh?
Here's a picture I snapped of Nova taken when I picked her up from her eye surgery a few weeks ago. Have you ever seen a human so happy after surgery???
Greetings from the Queen (Nova) and the Queen Mum (Sue)

Dagnabbit, why doesn't the image appear? I even uploaded it to my Tripawds blog first, as it wouldn't let me link it from Facebook.
ARGH.

Everyone needs to see the smiling Queen!

The tag for the Facebook image was still in the code (visible in HTML view), gone now.
Thanks for fixing nova's pic – wouldn't want to miss that beautiful smile!

Happy Ampuversary to our Queen and the Queen Mum! I cannot believe how well she has done, and am so thankful she is now free of the pain from glaucoma. They are only going to get better from here on.
I'm so very happy for you guys.

Queen Nova, glad to hear you're doing so well! You're awesome!!!
Just goes to show when you don't have people telling you how bad things will be once you have this or that done how well you can get along. Great news, paws up to the queen
My buddy Gus had a left front amputation on April 7, 2010 and lived a great life until July 26,2010
Hooray for the queen! I think Chloe is losing her vision...her eyes are getting a bit cloudy looking. But she can hear extremely well! Glad to know your Nova does well without vision, I hope Chloe will be able to do the same!
-Chloe's mom
Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog

Big pretty hoppy girl! Look at that smile 🙂
Bright eyes (yes, even if you are blind!) and a long waggy tongue...the sign of a hoppy dog, for sure. We're so glad everything worked out with the surgery. You are simply amazing.
Hail to the Queen! Hail to the Queen!
