Of course a Monkeybutt would be first to toot his own horn!! (I bet you toot all the time.)

And, Freaky Ears, Jerry (who is a HE btw...) said everybody who makes this a "wonderful place to be" so, I'm pretty sure that doesn't include meanie ol' attention-grabbing Monkeybutts!

Kisses,
Abby, TWP

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!

Awww. Thank you.

MBBVP is napping right now - let's don't wake him to tell him since he is quiet and not busy, busy, busy like he usually is!

Woot! Woot!

This week, Tripawds received a generous gift from Lynette H., in honor of Tripawds Moderator Karen Riley, and her pawesome Tripawd, Spirit Maggie the Pug.

Lynette, thank you for honoring Karen and Maggie with your gift to Tripawds. We are touched that you chose Tripawds to honor her memory and acknowledge all that Karen does for us. Cheers to TriPug Power, all the way!

How cool!

Lynette is my best friend. Two weeks after Maggie passed she was diagnosed with brain cancer. Silly as it might sound to non-tripawders or non-dog people Maggie's cancer journey inspired Lynette during some intense treatment last year.

As it turns out she is at the doc today for a check up- and we are expecting good news.

So for our Christmas exchange this year she donated here and I am donating to the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society in her honor as a cancer SURVIVOR!
