Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife

Myrtle is so, so adorable-Happy Hannah sent you the most perfect wiggling little ball of joy She is beautiful and the perfect little ice cream machine! Shedding tears of joy for both of you. Myrtle (love the name) is the luckiest little girl to have you for a mom. Sally, wishing you all the joy in the world with your new furbaby!!!
Love you,
Joan and Lily
Michelle, you did a great job keeping the secret
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.
