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
WOOOHOOO! He conquered the mountain! What a rock star! 
And YOU conquered YouTube, congrats! I love it. Can't wait to see many more videos.
By the way, that hill is GREAT for muscle-building. Uphill walking for rear leg Tripawds is super helpful. That's a great gym you've got there.

Dear lord do these dogs worry you
We went away last week and had a panicky message say that Jack wasn't moving and they had had to carry him into the house from the garden as he was so imobile
After a whole weekend of him lying still and shallow breathing and worry he was all bright and breezy as if to say 'what?!?!'
he had pulled the muscles under his rib cage!
probably running around to fast
phew!
Wow! Glad that worked out ok. Can't imagine how terrifying it was for you.
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016. Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. Lung mets August 25, 2016. Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.
JACK!! Don't you be stressing your humans out like that!!! Not funny!!
We're probably the inly group in the world wh cheers for "just strained muscles"!
LOOOOOOOVE THE VIDEO!!!' Jack is determined to "climb any mountain" and let NOTHING stop him!! Living life to the fullest is what it's all about!! Have a huge grin on my face seeing how happy you are!! 🙂

Sorry I'm late to the party! Congrats to you all for reaching this milestone! He looks awesome isn't the video,and it's no wonder he pulled a chest muscle with his mountain climbing lol. So happy for you!

Nitro 11 1/2 yr old Doberman; right front amp June 2014. Had 6 doses carboplatin, followed by metronomic therapy. Rocked it on 3 legs for over 3 years! My Warrior beat cancer, but couldn't beat old age. He crossed the Bridge peacefully on July 25, 2017, with dignity and on his terms. Follow his blog entitled "Doberman's journey"
"Be good, mama loves you".....run free my beautiful Warrior
