Fortis celebrated his 1 month ampuversary today! I'm so proud of him. It hasn't been easy on Fortis over this past month but to my amazement he continues to give to this family what words cannot explain. Thank you my friend. I love you.

WOW! I'm sure that 1 month did not go fast you guys, but on my end it did! I'm so glad Fortis is doing so well. I'm so glad we've gotten to know your baby! And very much look forward to his progress!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Yeah Fortis......every day is a good day to celebrate. Glad to hear he continues to be a blessing!
As we all know, it is an honor and a privilege to be the pawrent of a Tripawd. Our dogs have taught us lessons of love and life.
Fortis....continue to make your daddy proud!

Laura and Tai
Tai – 9 yr old lab. Diagnosed Osteosarcoma Dec 18/09. Front right leg amputated Dec 21/09. Started chemo Jan 7/10. Lung mets discovered Sept 16/10. Valiant to the end on Oct 26/10 when cancer reappeared in a leg and we made the decision to set her free. Forever in my heart where not even cancer can take her from me.
Fortis, your big recuperation month has just flown by (for us anyways, hope it has for you too). What an extra special day to have a ampuversary. Three...the magic number.
We send lotsa hugs and happy dances your way! Congrats! Keep on keepin' on.

Hoppy 1 Month Ampuversary, Fortis! This month seemed to fly by! We wish you many, many more to come!
Amputation on 11/10/09, due to Histiocytic Sarcoma in left elbow. Angel Harley earned his wings on 06/24/10.
Way to go Fortis and family 
Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.
