Happy 17 Month Ampuversary Charley!!! You are our tripawd hero and everyday you make us so proud that you picked us as your mommy and daddy! ♥ ♥ ♥
My wish to you is that you continue your fight against osteosarcoma with the same strength, resilience, and determination that you have since your journey started.
My promise to you is that you will never suffer and when you tell me that it's time, I will bravely and lovingly give you your well-deserved angel wings.
On another note, Charley turns 4 tomorrow!!!! Yippee!!! Yay!!! Woo Hoo!!!
Happy 4th Birthday to my special hero boy!!! This will be the 2nd birthday that he celebrates as a tripawd cancer survivor!
Please keep your fingers and paws crossed and keep us in your thoughts and prayers for clear x-rays tomorrow. Charley has a follow-up appointment with his oncologist tomorrow at 4:30pm cst and he already has his "Birthday Bandana" out and ready to wear for tomorrow....Charley thinks he may be able to score a few extra treats if he looks super cute!
Your mommy and daddy love you more than you will ever know!!! ♥♥♥
Love,
Mommy & Daddy xoxo

Happy, happy birthday (and ampuversary) Charley, you handsome dog, you! May you have many more and may your day be full of treats, playtime, hugs and kisses!

Smilin' Sammy, March 16, 2004 – Dec. 5, 2011
Golden retriever, diagnosed with osteosarcoma in September 2010 — right front leg amputated November 2010. He fought valiantly to stay with us; but a second diagnosis of osteosarcoma, this time in his left front leg, was more than our golden warrior could overcome. He loved his pack — and everyone else he met.
We loved him even more.
Thanks for the pennies, Sammy. They helped.

Best birthday present ever would be clear xrays. Paws and fingers crossed here and Angel Abby will keep her special watch over him!
Happy, hoppy celebrations Charley, you handsome Tripawd Warrior Prince you!
Jackie, Angel 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. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
