I know that we share this date with many of our tripawd friends and want to send a shout out to them all, especially Jd's mom and chloe's mom. We joined here within a month of each other.
It is hard to celebrate this time though because I am so sad about Mackenzie. So, I think instead of ice cream (and because of the snow and wind and possible icy rain here..) Sammy and I are going to watch a doggy love story. I am thinking something funny and touching and we will light a candle today for Mackenzie, as well as to celebrate the bond that Sammy and I and all of us share with our furry family. The candle was thoughtfully provided by Jd's mom, thank you, it smells wonderful!
(Plus, Sammy is on a diet, so no extras… well, that goes for me too, same diet!)
Any idea's for the movie? Beethoven? Old yeller? Bengi ?

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.

Elizabeth and Sammy. Happy happy 4 month ampuversary! That is wonderful news! Cooper and the family will indeed celebrate today in Sammy's honor!You keep plugging away Sammy! Cooper and I are cheering you on! You look so much like my Cooper we cant help but have a special place in our heart for you! Lets keep those ampuversaries rolling!
I love the idea you have about lighting a candle for Mackenzie today, and I believe I will follow suit.. it has been a hard and sad holiday time for many of our group. I hope you dont mind if I extend the candle burning ceremony to all those that have lost furkids in the recent days as well. Such as Konakai, Indi, Ruby and all the others that have crossed the bridge.
As far as the movie... oh there are so many good dog movies to choose from but so many are sad! whatever movie you choose - have a great day!

the monkeydogs only THINK they have invaded the tripawd state
Way to go, another one slaps that crap in the face!!!! Not sure where your at, we were suppose to get freezing rain this morning here in northern Ohio, but got rain, no complaints mind you. Ditto on the waist line, but Old Yeller?????, I cried when I was nine at that one!!!! Haven't seen Benji, so I'd go with Beethoven or maybe the one with three dogs that go across country to find their family, I think it is called Homeward Bound, maybe Turner and Hooch, although that ending is double sided.

My buddy Gus had a left front amputation on April 7, 2010 and lived a great life until July 26,2010
Happy Ampuversary, Sammy! You rock!
We echo your feelings - yesterday was a day of mixed emotions as we celebrated Holly's ampuversary and were saddened by news of Mackenzie, as well as news of all of our recent losses. I like the idea of lighting a candle for all of our angels - we try to remember to do that on each of Holly's ampuversaries. Yesterday's candles helped somehow.
Today we'll celebrate with some extra treats in Sammy's honor. And watching a dog movie is a pawsome idea! We're having rain here today - and I remember 1 year ago today when we brought Holly home from the vet we sat and watched movies for 3 days straight (and I knitted lots of mittens). Have a great day!
Hugs,
Holly, Zuzu and Susan
Holly joined the world of tripawds on 12/29/2009. She has a big little sister, Zuzu, who idolizes Holly and tries to make all of her toys into tripawds in Holly's honor. And she's enjoying life one hop at a time!

Yes it would seem hard to celebrate at this time but that's exactly what Mackenzie and her mom would want us to do. Who could help but smile when thinking of Kami and Mackenzie playing on the beach. It warms my heart.
I think 4 months is absolutely fantastic! A celebration is in order for our brave hero Sammy. Fortis' appetite hasn't been all that good lately but he loves yams. So I'm thinking a sweet potato pie is in order to celebrate Sammy's 4 month Ampuversary. You're a star Sammy 
Keep up the great work my friend.
I already recommended "The Legend of Boggy Creek" to you and I think without much approval if I remember 
So today I'm recommending
