Hi everyone - Two years ago today, we saved Lincoln's life by sacrificing a leg. Amazingly, we don't regret it for a second. He's still a total rock star and as happy as he's ever been. We feel so blessed and know each and every day we have with him is an absolute gift.
We're looking forward to seeing all of our friends next month at the Tripawd Party, and are ready to start Summer of Lincoln 3.0.
I can promise you we never thought we'd see this day.
Thanks everyone, for all the support. We wouldn't be here without Tripawds!

We are so happy to celebrate this auspicious occasion that we're going to In and Out Burger!
I think it's so cool that we get to follow your adventures for another summer!
Burgers and fries for everypawty!!!!!!
Your friend, Shelby the P.P.

Oh I love Lincoln and I love that he is still going strong! No dog has more regal and inspirational self-portraits here than Lincoln! He enjoys life so very much, and I am delighted that he is at this milestone!
Lincoln, my wish for you is that your summers never end, the water is always warm and the sticks and balls are always waiting for you. Make your folks put the top down and give you a ride in the sunshine!

From abandoned puppy to Tripawd Warrior Dude, Dakota became one of the 2011 February Furballs due to STS. Our incredibly sweet friend lived with grace and dignity till he impulsively raced over the Bridge on 12-15-12.

Lincoln, you ROCK!
You beat the odds at every turn, nothing keeps you down! Who would have thought there would be more than the original Summer of Lincoln? Well, obviously you did.
Have a good time at the Tripawd party in April, and I can't wait to see what Summer 3.0 brings.

Good job, Lincoln! Two years is amazing. Keep it up!
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!

Wow - That is just amazing and fantastic! Who woulda thought?!? After those early years of extreme health stories, you seem to have settled into a stretch of healthy golden years. If any of you do not know Lincoln's stories, do check out his blog.
Go Lincoln Go.

She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Lincoln 3.0 love it!!! It's amazing how time flies!!! He looks great, keep up the good work!
