Happy Ampuversary Charley-- once you decided to get in, you were quite the swimmer. I also like the nose wag at the end. Next month-- TWO YEARS!!!!!!
Scout: January 31, 2002 to November 7, 2011
Scout's diagnosis was "poorly differentiated sarcoma"; amputation 1/11/2011. Scout enjoyed 9 fantastic years on 4 legs and 9 glorious months on 3 legs. If love alone could have saved you…
Awwww Charley, you always put a smile on my face! So very happy to see you doing amazingly well....you are so wonderful. And I love how smashing you look in the float coat ...red really is your color! Happy Ampuversary! All our love from Boston! Xoxo Sue
Congrats Charley!!! Charley makes me hopeful for my dog Tank to make it 23 months and longer. Today is his 2 month anniversary.

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.

I really thought I replied to this topic yesterday, but I don't see it so I guess I'm really losing it!
Happy 23rd Charley! You are a warrior and an inspiration for all to look up to.

23 Months is PAWESOME!!!
Not only are you a super handsome cover model, you are a true Warrior! Keep kicking cancer's booty!!!

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!
