Charley celebrated his 1 Year Ampuversary on 10-28-11…and our St. Louis Cardinals brought him a World Series win on his special day!!!
Charley is doing great and he continues to amaze us everyday! He does everything that he did on 4 legs with 3! Since his amp, he has even figured out that he’s a lab and he loves to swim!
Charley being his handsome self:
Charley running like a bat out of hell (note how he face plants as he zooms around the landscaping and he doesn’t even slow down…he only has one speed…FAST):
Hugs and chocolate kisses,
Ellen & Charley xoxo

Oh Charley....you're a hottie. Hubba hubba sez Shelby. Congrats on your 1 year and Shelby sez THREE PAWS UP and keep on carrying the torch!!
Congrats Charlie. Sorry that mommy put that about my birthday in the wrong post. She had a lot going on this past weekend and with my birthday yesterday.
I am always wiping out like that too, even sometimes with my boots on. We have to be careful though. We don't want anything happening to our remaining legs. Keep enjoying life!

My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
