Here is a short video to help celebrate Abby's 14 months, and a tribute of sorts to all tripawds fighting the 'mints'.

OH MY DOG! That was probably the best video EVER MADE!!!!
Splat!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent job Karen!! The Abbster is going to love it!!!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
OH MY DOG!!!!! THAT IS THE BEST!!!
Where did you get those little Boris and Natashas?
I LOVE it!!!! I'm going to have to post that on my blog so my family can see it too. Too damn funny. And I sure hope that is what is going on in there!
Oh... Abby just came hopping out from the other room. Going to have to play it again and show her.
Love, love, love it!
Jackie, Abby's mom
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!
[just a note for anyone new(ish) to Tripawds - for a long time Abby just had one lung "mint", which I called The Lone Met. Then when a second one showed up, I started calling them Boris and Natasha. Since the Badenoughs never could get their s**t together enough to actually see one of their evil plans to fruition, I hoped it would be an appropriate name for them...]
I think this film should be up for the Oscar for Best Short Film. 🙂

Ahahahahahahahahahah!
So brilliant in its simplicity.
Gerry has been a tripawd since 12/16/2009.
He was a shelter dog with a mysterious past and an irrepairable knee injury.
Videos and pics of Gerry's pawesomeness can be found at: http://gerry.tripawds.com
Karen, you are AMAZING!! This video is the best way EVER to welcome a new year for all of our Warrior Tripawds in their fight against cancer and the "Mints"!
And Jackie - Altho I'm not new to Tripawds, I'd somehow missed your entries/blog about "Boris" and "Natasha" . . . The story is wonderful! You and Karen need to team up to become a film-making team for encouragement for tripawd families everywhere.
Thank you for the belly laughs you provided. 
I'm sure Spirit Sylvie could even hear me from the Bridge. Now - Could you develop a film for the creature-from-the-black-lagoon that has invaded other areas in our pups? ; -~ 
- Karen and Super Spirit Sheepdog Sylvie
Sweet Silly Sylvie, the Old English Sheepdog
Diagnosed with osteosarcoma 11/04/2010 at almost 7 years of age * Left hind leg amputated 11/09/2010 * Chemo on 12/10, 12/17, 01/10, 01/31
Sweet Sylvie's earthly journey ended on Nov. 3, 2011, one day short of a year since her diagnosis and 6 days short of her one-year ampuversary. Her family celebrates her life as a sheepdog – ever the puppy, ever silly, ever sweet – and are grateful for our 7 years together.
Oh holy COW this is GREAT!!! Karen you are so talented! Wowwwwwwww!
Stamp out those mets like a big ass rock. Love it! Thank you so much.

Ranger gives it 3 paws up! He knows that the "mints" have met their match with Abby. He also sends Abby a big sloppy kiss!
Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.
