Oh Sally!!!!
I am just so very happy for you. She is so stinking adorable. . I too wish I could be there on Sunday to meet her. When did you get her? I am assuming that Michelle had a hand somehow in helping to get her to you. I kept going down the posts thinking, did she? Did she? YES! She did!!! Smiling big here! Cannot wait to see more pictures of this beautiful girl. Great job Hannah! You did good! And Myrtle, you have absolutely no idea how great a life you are going to have with Sally as your Mom. You are one lucky girl!! Love from, Lori and Ty
TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.
Oooooooh! I wish I wasn't working Sunday so I could have met her. Such as gorgeous girl! So happy for you!
Mandy and Mav
Maverick is a wonderful miniature australian shepard born with a malformation of the front right radius/ulna, amputation performed on 11/4/13 at 6 months old. Follow his story at mavericksjourney.tripawds.com.
Happy tears here! What a great prezzie Hannah sent! Do tell us more.....please.
I'm happy we got back from our trip in time to get in on the welcoming committee.
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!

Oh my gosh ... Oh my gosh ... oh my gosh... SOOO CUUUTTTTEEEEE! SOOOO HAAPPPPPYYYYY! Sally, my heart is so happy and relieved for you. (Relieved because I so wanted you to meet another precious soul to love). And Miss Myrtle May is freaking adorable. I already want to smoosh her. I can't wait to hear all the escapades you two will have.

Lori and the zoo
Sally,
Boy you never know when you get on this site what has happened. I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND MYRTLE. Like Alison you two have so much love to pass on it's like a good bottle of wine being tipped over and all the love spilling out. Well maybe not like that but you know what I mean. And I am personally relieved I'm not the only one chasing a puppy around taking back socks, shoes, and what not. Tell us more about the cutie pie.
