She is so cute. My kids love squirrels too especially the live ones but most of the time can't catch them. Thanks for sharing.

You are cute Miss Elly. I know that squirrel. It's a part of the hide-a-squirrel. Those are great! Tell your mom to get you a hide-a-hedgehog too. 😉
Karma, Adelaide and the pack, and always our angel Brendol
Adelaide is a young tripawd Husky, from an injury. Her amp was on 10/1/12. She has 4 sisters, Aissa (a senior border collie/chow), Maggie May (a puppy Great Pyrenees), Mathilde and Morrigan and 1 baby brother, Bagheera. We are all watched over by our angel Brendol, who was dx with OSA 1/30/13, amp on 2/6/13, and left us on 8/20/13.
You can read their stories at http://adelaide.tripawds.com and http://brendol.tripawds.com
Soooo cute! I could eat you up!

Nitro 11 1/2 yr old Doberman; right front amp June 2014. Had 6 doses carboplatin, followed by metronomic therapy. Rocked it on 3 legs for over 3 years! My Warrior beat cancer, but couldn't beat old age. He crossed the Bridge peacefully on July 25, 2017, with dignity and on his terms. Follow his blog entitled "Doberman's journey"

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
OMD!!!! Beyond cute.....waaaay beyond cute!!
This is a very, very happy doggy! Such a win/win for everybody. I know Elly makes you chuckle everyday. This picture sure makes us smile...we just need to see more of them!
I not only want to smooch that precious mug...I want to smooch her lrecious paw! She has such a cute foot!!
Thanks for the smiles!
Love!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
What a sweetie! Ollie agrees on SQUIRREL!
Kathi and the Turbotail April Angel...and the Labradork
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!
Adorable! Look at that face so full of such expressions! Soooo kissable!

She was pretty traumatized by getting hit by the car and having 4 homes in her 10 months of life. But she is beginning to settle in and is gaining confidence every day. While we are walking by the road she still stops and watches each car go by, but once at the park she relaxes and follows her nose! Today she let a stranger pet her, a first.
I'm not sure how she will do on Saturday, but I'm bringing the stroller so she can hide if needed.
I know that squirrel. It's a part of the hide-a-squirrel.
Yes! Tani had that and a beehive, a birdhouse and something like a magicians hat over the years.
I want to smooch her lrecious paw! She has such a cute foot!
My last 4 pups have been all black. She has the most interesting markings- piebald I think with ticking. Her front two feet have two black nails and two clear, her back power paw has 1 black and 3 clear.
I have some pretty good video of her playing and our exercise routine (aka playing!) and some walking. I got it off my phone tonight and hopefully will have something to show soon!
See you Saturday Allison!
