Just wanted to send a big shout-out to my best girl, Woo, on this her 11-month ampuversary. My, how the months have flown... Though it hasn't all been smooth sailing, and certainly there have been days when the battle has gotten the better of us, but my girl is here, she's still fighting and that simple fact has made this whole journey worthwhile. And as long as she's willing to fight, I'll be right beside her!
Here's to our pals, the February Furballs! And here's to the rest of you mighty dogs showing your peeps how to live life large one moment at a time! Cookies, hamburgers, ice cream, steak, etc. for EVERYPAWDY!!!!

Jackie & Abby
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.

My momma rocks!!! She knows how much I've been wanting one of Abby's Flying Dutchmans, but the nearest In-and-Out Burger joint is a 10-hour drive from here. So she went to our local burger place and had them make one just for me (well, for me and the monkey girls -- mom said I had to share). It was AWESOME!!!!!!

Oh damn, Rio, that looks GOOD. I just had a flying dutchman last night. I guess I should tell my mama to buy me another one tonight so that I can celebrate with you!
{And I don't have to share with no monkeybutts! Heehee for me!}
Kisses,
