Happy, Happy 8 month Ampuversary to Tucker
Lily and I are sending ear scratchies to Tucker!
Joan and Lily
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.

Happy, Hoppy Ampuversary Tucker!! You are celebrating in the best way possible! Keep it up!
Luanne & Spirit Shooter
Spirit Shooter was a Miniature Australian Shepherd who was diagnosed with a MCT and had a LF amp 1/28/13 at 13-1/2 years old.
Shooter crossed the Bridge on 8/28/13, his 7 month ampuversary and two weeks from his 14th birthday.
Hoppy number eight, Tucker. Make sure you get cake, too, buddy! Great photo in that puddle.
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!

Linda, what an awesome pic of handsome Tucker in his personal cooling off party !! No Lab is ever happy without wallowing at least once a week in the mud puddles !! With the exception of my Polly, all my other Labs lived for dirt piles, puddles, dirt holes, you name it......Polly was much more a lady, so she never went for the muddy stuff willingly.
Anyway, so very happy for Mr. Tucker celebrating 8 months of happiness, and may he have many, many more happy anniversaries !! Time to celebrate with what Sally suggested, but add some yummy steak to that list as well !!
Much Love,
Bonnie & Angel Polly
