WOW PENNY! I was all set to go with Maggie in her tree! I always love the ines with Maggie and her trees! And then I scrolled to the secondnone...and then the third one! Not easy at all!!!
That third one...she's sooooo beautiful and content.
I absolutely LOVEm Maggiein her tree!
HOWEVER, Maggie standing so strong and so proud among the stones...just enjoying being "one with Nature", yeah, the second one.
Which one gives you the best memory...makes you heart smile the most? That may be the only way to decide because they are all just so magnificent!
Hugs and Love to all!
Sally and Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
I like 1 and 2 
so pretty! is she actualloney in the tree in 1? lol I love that one
Today is Libby's 7 month Angelversary so I want to honor her by having her included in the calendar. I don't participate here as much as I used to but I do lurk and think of you all daily. I can't seem to come here without crying for one reason or another. I feel a bit silly about that. So many of you that have tripawd angels are able to help those still in need here and I just can't seem to do that but I'm grateful others can. The tripawd community is pawesome and I still consider myself a part of this family
This is probably my favorite picture of her as a tripawd. She was just as feisty in the water after her amp as she was before. We miss her so very much. Happy Heavenly Angelversary, my sweetpea.
Liberty (Libby) was diagnosed with OSA on 1-22-13. Right front amputation on 1-31-13. No IV Chemo. Metronomic Therapy started 2-19-13 along with supplements and some home cooking. Lungs clear until 1-06-14. She's still her happy, hoppy, bossy self. Living the dog life to the fullest and a proud Winter Warrior. :) RIP my Libby 4-21-03 to 3-19-14

That is a beautiful photo of Libby! 
We would love to include it in the calendar, however, we will need a much larger image. Please email us a high resolution photo. See the first post in this topic for details...thanks!
Photo Requirements
Only one “Print-Ready” photo per Tripawd will be accepted for the calendar. This means that the one image you submit must be of good enough resolution/size to be printed in a paper calendar. If not, it cannot be included in the calendar (small photos do not reproduce well in print).
Your original source image must be at least 2400 x 1800 minimum size.

Dearest, sweet, feisty Libby! We feel your absence, too, but I am comforted that she's no longer in pain or struggling. It's a beautiful gift we can give our Warriors and it always ALWAYS comes too soon. We miss you and love you, Libby! I know you're looking out for the rest of us. Run fast and swim harder...
~ Katy & Jackson
ACL tear in right hind leg 12/5/12 and scheduled ACL repair surgery 12/21/12. Pre-op xrays revealed osteosarcoma. Amputation 12/28/12. Chemo (carboplatin) started Jan 10, 2013 and ended on April 5, for a total of 5 doses. He handled carbo like a champ! No side effects. We started metronomic therapy at his third chemo and have been also doing some holistic treatments. He's a lively, playful 10 year old huskie-boarder collie and a very proud member of the Winter Warriors! Our love. Our funny little guy!
I'm sure she's been in every watering hole the Bridge has to offer, Katy. 
Give Jackson a big squeeze from me, okay?
I'm afraid I don't have any larger pictures. The biggest ones I have of Libby as a tripawd seem to be 2048x1536. Oh well. I look forward to seeing the calendar though!
Hugs,
Amy & Spirit Libby

Wow guys. Love seeing all the pretty/handsome babies out there. I'm partial to a few 
.
Chantal/Fang (you are a handsome dude Fang), Kathi/Murphy (he's so cute too), Sally/Hannah (you crack me up. I hope you send all 2700 files to admin for help. lol), Katy/Jackson (Jackson, love you you silly boy), Lori/Chuck and Bobby (I like the locket with Chuck and the crew chilling with him... very sweet... you always take such great pictures), and I don't want to leave Ty, Libby, Penny, Leland, and and and... 
They are all so darn cute. Going to be a great set of calendars. I've emailed Adelaide's submission, but here is a view of it. Took all weekend to get some decent pictures since she did not want to look at me. Then there was the rat incident, but I'll save that for her blog.
Karma, Adelaide and the crew, and our forever angel Brendol
Adelaide is a young tripawd Husky, from an injury. Her amp was on 10/1/12. She has 4 sisters, Aissa (a senior border collie/chow), Maggie May (a puppy Great Pyrenees), Mathilde and Morrigan and 1 baby brother, Bagheera. We are all watched over by our angel Brendol, who was dx with OSA 1/30/13, amp on 2/6/13, and left us on 8/20/13.
You can read their stories at http://adelaide.tripawds.com and http://brendol.tripawds.com
Addy...you are gorgeous!
Kathi and Murphy
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!
LIBBY!!! This MUST go into the calendar!!! Such a happy girl living in the moment...just waiting for her mom to throw the darn ball!! Amazing how she stayed so balanced...... You are a ROCK STAR LIBBY! We LOVE you!
Amy, it has been, and contues to be, a honor to travel this journey with you and Libby! WE ARE FAMILY! WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER HERE LIKE NO OTHERS CAN!! Never, ever, ever, EVER,feel silly about crying or about not being here all the time!! Rarely can you get through more than three ppsts without sooner or later crying...several times! And I tell ya' what, just seeing Libby's banner pop up inspires us everytime wd see it and reminds us to smile, wag our tails and hop on a surf board!! Oh heah, her legacy for fun continuess on. And remember, on this intense journey, seven months is still very early in the grief process and we jave NO rules here about staying on the site, lurking on the site,or just visiting nce every three years...or not at all!
But it IS good to hear from you because we love you and Libby!!!
Love snd hugs!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
KARMA! Hard to believe how beautiful that Addy is! Just strikingly beautiful! And sooo joyful! Cannot wait to hear about the rats! This ought to be good!
