EEEEEEEEUUUUUUUURRRRYYYYDICE!!! OMD, YOU ARE POSSIBLY THE MOST PHOTGENIC TriPawd EVER! Each one of your shots is a GLAMOUR, no, an INTERNATIONAL VOGUE cover shot!!! Thank you for sharing your journeys and travels with us!!! Although, whWHAT?,.,, I see nary enough PWESENTS, PWESENTS, PWWWWWWESNTS in these pictures. harrumph! Unless Bella the Beagle is a new PWESENTS?!? Congrats on your AMPUVERSARY but most of all your endearing, vagabond, happy ambassador spirit!
Best wishes, happy AMPUVERSARY, hugs, and huge PyrPaws to you!!!
Eurydicheese is too full. My gosh, she has to lie on her back to digest all that chicken and cheese. Maybe she ate a penguin?
What a great day! A stick, a new beagle friend, papa and mama singing, being hand fed and a mate for Pedro. Three penguin stuffies! And I know you love each and every one.
As always I look forward to your adventures and meeting old and new friends.
Lots of hugs, cuddles, and kitty cat rubs.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful day with us! So happy for you and Miss Cow. Much love for many more ampuversaries to come.
Kellye, Rosie and Braden. 
Hoppy 9 month ampuversary Eurydice!!!
Love the videos and the one of you guys singing 
TOO CUTE!
What a celebration spread! Looks like you had a fantastic celebration ! Maybe the pancake today.
Hugs
Holly & Purrkins
OMDog! Astro says he would like to come live with you now, since, compared to Eurydice, he is obviously not being feted up to his full potential! Happy Happy Ampuversary!! Astro would also like to point out that he likes a lot of the same things you do! Namely, slobbering on new toys, playing tug, gourmet cooking and sprawling belly-up. He admits to not being as well-traveled as you guys, but he is willing to learn! It's so GOOD to see you so happy and doing so well, Eurydice! and that little Bella is adorable! What great friends you have!
Here's to Many, Many More!!!
Cheers,
Kat and Astro
Got to see more videos! EACH ONE IS ALWAYS MY FAVORITE!!!
Eurydice playing with her Jumbone....watching her soooo happy...sooo gleefull...priceless!! And her squeaky Penguin held so proudly in her massive slobbering jaws...yeah, add that to the priceless list too!! 
And the sweeeet video where he handfeeds her each savory nugget...ADORABLE! 'She takes each one so gently. I love it when he says..."Give it all to her?", or something along those lines! "Are you sure?"
So much fun pawtying with you!!!
Lots of love
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie 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!
Great photos as always!!! Happy 9 months!!! that is a HUGE milestone!
XOXO

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
Wow big "E" just wow. Your humans are the best trained humans ever! You could probably start a side "how to train your humans" business and make a ton of money! Happy Happy 9 month sweet girl! You really are a one in a million kid of girl and soooo loved! Thanks for sharing your very special life with us all! Love and hugs to you all!
Smooches and love and kisses Miss Eurydice! May you have many, many more great celebrations

Hi there DaBear family 
Thank you so much for your kind words, I am quite photogenic but not quite like a
model 
(yet )
I had a blast of a time 
love all my toys AND Bella too
Keeping my vagabond spirit up as Mom is taking me on a trip, we're leaving tomorrow morning 
and I am really excited
Lots and lots of kisses from Mom and tummy rubs galore to the Pyrcuties

Hey there auntie Kerren and kitties 
Oh boy, did you get that right? ...
I was FULL to the limit 
could not even have a single lick at dessert 
after that meal 
Nobody else in the world will agree with me but my Mom is the BEST cook ever 
(for me!)
And I adore those penguins 
So happy you'll be traveling with us soon, can't wait to share my adventures with you, Eli and Mona 
Huuuuge hugs from Mom and lots of ear scratches to the kitties

Hi Kellye, Rosie and Branden 
SO glad you enjoyed my ampuversary too 
Mom has this Carpe Diem filosophy and can hide her concerns from me quite well 
(or so I let her think), she will always go the extra mile to surprise me ... and I have to say my ampuversary menu was quite a marvellous surprise 
Mom would SO enjoy to help you organising Rosie's next ampuversary, if we lived closer she'd do it for sure
We'll be traveling together soon 
Lots of love from Mom and cuddles to the furry cuties
