Bust out those treats Tripawds and help me celebrate!!

Yesterday marked 18 months since I started my new life as a Tripawd.  I spent the morning at "Hounds for Hope."  A dog walk to help raise money for Relay for Life.  I thought it was perfect – being that I am a cancer survivor.  It was a small turnout cause it was very cold and windy but I led the way – hopping around the courthouse square.  I might even be in the newspaper.

And then we went home and followed Gayle's ever perfect advice – a medicinal nap.

I finished the day with french fries for dinner.

A pawfect way to spend my big day.

Golden love to all,

Ginger

Oh, hope you make the paper!

Wowza, 18 months is pawesome. We will have some ice cream in your honor tonight!

Kisses to Ginger from Abby and tummy rubs from me,
Jackie, Abby's mom

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman.

You too can join the Monkeydog Federation is you have 4 legs! (NOT 3!!!) Our job is to get attention since stooopid tripawds get too much attention! 2011 was the Year of the Bunny!  2012 is the Year of the Pirate!

We want pictures! But how can a newspaper not put your beautiful face in it?  And if they don't, that explains why they are a dying business!

Happy ampuversary Ginger!!

Way to show those folks that a little bad weather can't stop a tripawd warrior from hopping for Hounds for Hope.

 

The pugs are having their pre- going to bed evening medicinal nap right now otherwise there would be a few extra treats. Can you hear that stereo snoring???
