While Gerry and I were out walking this morning, his nose took us to a street we don't normally walk on and a lady stopped to pet him - to Gerry's delight as always.  She asked his name and I told her and then she asked if I had seen the PBS special with Jerry on it big-grin  I spared her the long answer to that and gave her the short version that I sure did, and when my Gerry coincidentally had the same name at the shelter, well, there was just no way I could not take him home.

Jerry, you're so famous!

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

Oh silly Gerry! You are making my Mom cry with this lovely story of yours. Wow.

Thank you G, you made our day. And thank YOU for carrying on the Tripawd spirit! See, you just never know who you might run into in your own neck of the woods.

Very pawesome indeed! It's always cool to hear from viewers who saw the show.

For anyone interested, here's the first segment from the show featuring our travels with Jerry. You can view the entire Why We Love Cats and Dogs episode of Nature online at PBS.org, or search for upcoming Nature reruns on PBS stations near you..

That just brought tears to my eyes - what an incredible story and what an incredible inspiration to all of us here.  Jerry - our tripawd hero!! You will always live forever in our hearts!

Kami, Angel Mackenzie and Kobe 

My sweet golden Mackenzie.  She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2  although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home.  She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009.  She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes.  I love you Mackenzie!
