I can hardly believe our girl made it but here we are at her 6 month ampuversary and she's still a happy, bouncy girl even for 12 years and 3 legs. Everyone is amazed how well she is doing!!
I truly cannot thank our wonderful Tripawd family enough for all the brilliant support and love. It would have been such a different journey without all of you fabulous people and pups!
She has new Bling to celebrate ~ pictures on her blog: http://lyleegir.....pawds.com/
Hugs, wags and treats all around to everyone!

Hooray for Lylee! A true Tripawd Warrior Princess!!
I'm heading to her blog now to check out her bling...
Treats for everyone!
Hugs from me and kisses from Abby,
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!

Congratulations!! Posts like this are such an inspiration, especially to us newbies!
Zeus was a Husky mix diagnosed with Osteosarcoma at age 11. A visible lung met and suspicious spot on his liver meant a poor prognosis-six weeks was our vet's best guess. We decided to fight for our boy and his right front leg was amputated on 12/1/11. We did six rounds of chemo, changed his diet and spoiled him completely rotten. We were blessed with 10 great months after diagnosis. Against the odds, the lung met remained a single met and grew very little over those months. A wonderful furbaby with the most gentle spirit, he fought with a strength that we never imagined he possessed. We have no regrets...
