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!

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.

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.

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.
