I would first off like to say "Thanks" to Dakota for reminding me that I forgot Rio's ampuversary yet AGAIN!!!! Bad momma!

Anyhow, we are into the double digits now, making each day count, and trying not to worry too much about what tomorrow might bring. She is happy, eating like a horse and has good energy (in short bursts). I can't ask for anything more!!!

I think it's a good thing when you can't remember anniversaries…that means all is going well! (that's what I tell my husband since I can never remember ours……I think it's in March.)

Regardless Rio, we are going to celebrate over here because a double digit is so exciting! MB Rocket loves cheese and will get some in your honor! And he'll love you for making it happen for him! (maybe not)

SO, Happy Ampuversary!

Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.

Maybe all you TRipawd moms and dads should buy a MONKEYBUTT MANIA calendar so you can keep track for your ampuversaries….maybe we can even throw in a crayon for you!

http://tripawds…..heyre-hot/

Bahahahahahaha!

Oh….mom says that I have to wish you a hoppy ampuversary before I get a treat so hoppy ampuversary.

Samson is Spirit Tripawd Daisys four legged "brother" and is the self proclaimed head of the Monkeybutt Federations East Coast Division. Lady Chunky Monkey came to live with him after Daisy went to the bridge in Oct 2011 and then Lady left for the bridge in Apr 2012. Samson is once again a bachelor. Do you have what it takes to be a Monkeybutt? Find out more at the Monkeybutt Federation

Happy Ampuversary Rio!! Awesome!! Since it's a double digit ampuversary, this calls for double digit treats to celebrate! Here's to many more double digit ampuversaries and celebrations! cool cool cool

Kami, Angel Mackenzie, Kobe and Scarlett

My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!

Double digits is pawesome. Abby wants to know if that means double treats??

KISSES from me and Abby,
Jackie

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.
