Hello All!!!
I must apologize that I have not been on in a while. We had a scare recently with an xray however we had an additional one last week and it came back clean. 🙂 I honestly feel very very lucky to be able to say that. I definitely have real expectations with this cancer thing but there is a small amount of hope that I try and keep. He is a happy boy with lots of energy. I am so so proud of him. He is so laid back with no care in the world and I think that helps in the long run. Hope everyone is great out there

So excited to hear about your 10 month - especially after a scare. I think we've all been in those shoes a time or two. Jack's a sweetheart and I'm happy to hear he's doing well.

Erin and Jack,
No apology necessary. As far as we are concerned, your number one job is to ENJOY each and every day to the max. Sounds like things are great after this scare, but most of us have had such scares ourselves. So very glad to hear that you have a happy boy and always remember to stay optimistic.
Now on to the celebration. No doubt about the fact that ten month ampuversary is definately a milestone that requires a full fledged PAWRTY. You know all the requirements, extra hugs, extra playtime, special treats and ICE CREAM. We will be celebrating vicariously with you. We love these celebrations and will expect to hear of many more for our "happy boy" - Jack.

Apologies for what? We're just so happy everything is going great! Spirit Cherry's Dad is right....your number one job is to enjoy every single day...we're just blimps on the screen...but when you think of us, we'll always be here.
So break out the ice cream and have a pawty.
Way to go birthday boy Jack!

Wow 10 months - it seems like just yesterday to me when Jack first appeared on Tripawds. How did all those months sneak past me?
Well done, Jack! Good boy!!! Hoppy Ampuversary 
Gerry has been a tripawd since 12/16/2009.
He was a shelter dog with a mysterious past and an irrepairable knee injury.

Happy 10 Month Ampuversary Jack!! So happy for you that your x-ray came back clean! That calls for a double celebration! Here's to many, many more!
Kami (Mackenzie's Mom)
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
