My beautiful Lily is celebrating her 22 month ampuversary today
She is doing great, and we are just about to go out for a walk! Thanks to all of you who are always there for everyone on this remarkable website. We are so grateful that she is still with us and doing well (her last chest xray was last month and everything was clear
Joan and Lily
PS After walk-major treats for Lily and me
Our beautiful Lily was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her front leg on 12/14/11 at age 8 and had amp on 12/16/11. She completed 5 rounds of carbo. She was so brave and kicked cancer's butt daily! She lived life fully for 4 years, 3 months, and 15 days after her amp. My angel is a warrior princess. I miss her so much.

Jill and Lily are one day apart!!!Never realized that either-give her a big kiss from Lily:)

Woo Hoo, Lily! Next month is going to be a HUGE pawty around this place! Murphy's one year is on the 24th, so we will join you.
Kathi and Murphy
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!
