As you know already Miss Trouble that I am recovering from my trip down spicy lane thanks to Dr. Pepto OR I would NEVER EVER be the 16th poster celebrating your 21 months!
SO! Happy 21!
I'm making all the party arrangements next week for the double birthday celebrations! More celebrating to come with lots of good food! (minus the super hot guacamole!)
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 how wonderful to hear Trouble is doing so well. Happy, happy ampuversary to such a special, cutie pie of a dog.

Way to go Trouble!!
You continue to be an inspiration and a beacon of hope for all those here, especially those just starting out.
It's also good to hear that the diet has paid off- but I still reject evil green beans!
I really didn't think Maggie would like her stroller. I had tried when she was still a quad pug to let her ride in a wagon and she hated it and kept jumping out so I was sure there would be an adjustment period for the stroller. Well, from the first day we used it she rode in it like a homecoming queen!! I kept expecting her to wave to her admirers!!
I hope Trouble likes her new ride- can't wait for pics.
Karen and the pugapalooza
Yay Trouble!!! You are such an inspawration to us!! We will definitely be celebrating in your honor tonight - ice cream and plenty of cheese. Zuzu might even go for some Trouble beans, but Holly says she draws the line at cheese. 
We're all so happy for you!
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!

Dear Miss February......I am so proud to hear about the amazing ampuversary of Trouble!! I know you are grateful for every day you have been blessed with.
We send our love and a pat on the head!!

Grateful for every moment we had with Paris…..no regrets!
Honoring her life by opening our hearts & home to Addy!
So amazing...Trouble does it again - she's our hero, inspawration and fearless tripawd leader - 21 months! Wow!! So happy that Trouble is doing so well even if she has to eat those green beans 
- don't feel bad Trouble, Mackenzie and Kobe have to eat mixed veggies with their meals. Can't wait for the double birthday celebration with you know who - 12 years and counting! What a great celebration that will be! 
Kami (Mackenzie & Kobe's Mom)
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!
YEA!!! Glad to see that a member of the November 5 is still going strong and leading the way for all these newbies. Dad and I could not be more happy about this great milestone and want to wish you many more to come. Now for the real important things regarding the PAWRTY that is required for this celebration - the check list - lots of extra hugs, extra playtime (at what ever level of effort is appropriate), special treats (including fresh green beans), and ICE CREAM. Make sure that your Mom gives you an extra hug from all of us here.
Smiles around for this wonderful event,
Spirit Cherry
Better late than never-- Congratulations again Trouble! I love these milestones. Keep 'em coming!

RRROOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!! Little Miss Trouble, you are so PAWESOME! So sorry for the late ampuversary greetings. I have been using my iPad a lot lately, and for some reason I can't comment on Tripawds forum posts while I am on there. But don't think for a minute that you were not in our thoughts all the time, since as you know Nova's ampuversary is just 2 weeks before. I can't believe you and Nova had your amps almost TWO YEARS AGO. Along with Queen Nova, the other remaining "November 5" survivor, I look forward to seeing you two continue to hop side by side, continuing to KICK CANCER'S BUTT in honor of Tika, Cherry, and Max... and all the other Spirit Tripawds.
This November is going to be one BIG pawty! I am currently working on a fun video slide show of Nova in honor of her 2 year ampuversary, hoping to have it ready to debut by the big day on November 11.
Sue and Queen Nova

Truely, truely freat news! What a wonderful celebration every day must be!
