ONE YEAR on Saturday!!!

Abby's one year ampuversary is coming up this Saturday!! There will be an extra long visit to her favorite dog beach, Fiesta Island, and I'm sure at some point over the weekend there will be a Flying Dutchman* from In-N-Out burger! A Frosty Paw will also be in order – especially since it's supposed to be hot this weekend.

It's crazy to think that we have now had her in our lives with cancer (12 months) longer than without (11 months). We hope she keeps kicking cancer booty for a LONG time. There were many days I didn't think we'd make it this far. We are very proud of our Tripawd Warrior Princess! (If only I had a TWP T-shirt to wear in her honor… hint hint hint).

Just today, again, at the beach someone said she is lucky to have us, but I corrected them that we are lucky to have her.

Everypawdy have extra treats in Abby's honor!

Jackie, Abby's proud mama

(Oh… p.s. Tomorrow we go for a follow up onc. visit. I know he wants to do some x-rays and check on Boris and Natasha. I don't really want to. We'll see. Hopefully it will be a good visit. She is doing great – ran at the beach today for an hour and never laid down once even though it was HOT, still has a great appetite, no sign of The Cough – so I'm just choosing to believe that Boris and Natasha aren't raising a family in there!)

 

* a Flying Dutchman is two patties and two slices of cheese, which they came up with specially for dogs. It even shows up on your receipt as Flying Dutchman. If you have a doggy and are lucky enough to live near an In-N-Out do your pup a favor and order him/her one!

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.

Abby is our hero!!! She's amazing, and we're so happy that she's doing as well as she is. We are gonna party all weekend long for our Tripawd sista! Abby, Rio is jealous about your Flying Dutchman, and right now she is complaining heartily about the fact that we don't have something like that near us. Enjoy your burger, girl, you EARNED it!

We'll be sending you lots of good mojo for your appointment tomorrow — tell momma not to worry! As long as you're feeling good and running down the beach (and looking oh, so fabulous doing it), Boris and Natasha don't stand a chance!

Tripawd Warrior Princesses ROCK ON!!!!

Rio and her momma

PS: Mom made me a cape, Abby — Wooohooo, now I'm rockin' the pink!

I was going to hit In-N-Out on the way home from work tonight, but something told me to wait.  I guess it was this!!! 

Happy, happy one year Abby TWP!  Saturday night will be burger night- and the pugs will share a Flying Dutchman.

Look out Monkeybutts everywhere!  Abby will probably go on a kissing spree that we've never seen the likes of….  BEWARE!!!!  Kissy-face Tripawd Covergirl On The Loose….   Or….  Loose, Kissy-face Tripawd Covergirl…..  Either way, us Monkeybutts need to keep our eyes open, cuz that girl is CRAZY!

Congrats Abby! One year is pawsome! We will celebrate in honor of you…by taking our pups to training classes, LOL. Actually, when we get home form class, we'll give them frosty paws….have a great day at the beach, and hope all goes well with the onc.
