Hi all,
December 5th is Elly's 4 month ampuversary and late this month is her 1st birthday. She is quite the energetic little thing, but thankfully there is enough pug in her to let her sleep through the night and take several naps a day!
She is also quite strong and very funny when she plays. Enjoy!

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

This video needs to be a permanent testament onTripawds to anyone sarting this journey who fears life on three legs. What a spectacular way to show everyone the unbridled joy a tripawd can have...without ever having to run a marathon!
I agree with Alison, you don't even realize she's a tripawd. And just four months after her amp.!
This video nust delights me to no end! And the added music...you did a brilliant job of synchronizing to her movements! I love how Elly every now and then sneaks in for a quick bite on the Blue Orbe.
I knkw she jas brought so much joy to you and your dad! A d Obie is warming up to her right? Good job Stubborn PugMaggie and Tani, very good job!!
And I'm still grinning!
Much love!

Grinning and grinning here. I had to look to make sure she wasn't a quadpawd. Fast, quick, whatever descriptive term fits, that is Ellie!
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!
Ear to ear smiles here! She's incredible! Not to miss mentioning adorable too! How fun to have that ball of energy on a daily basis! Lucky you!
