The last pledge is in, and Team Tripawds officially raised $6,165, of the total $13,385 raised at the Wheaton walk). We did good.
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016. Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. Lung mets August 25, 2016. Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.

Thought you would get a kick out of this - I won an award yesterday. We had to fill out a questionnaire in advance with non-resume, personal interest type information so that the MC could skip the bio material (which was all printed in the program) and make more interesting introductions. And guess what she pulled out as the most interesting thing about me? Team Tripawds and the Tripawds Nation. Turns out she had just lost her dog (a quad, and not to cancer). I got a kick out of it, and I'm sure Otis would have too.

Oh WOW!! LOVE THIS!!
It wasn't just "happenstance" that this I fo ended up in the hands of an MC who had just lost her pup. That Otis was working his magic from the Bridge! 🙂 Otis continues to touch lives and inspire!
Sounds like Otis is finding pretty unique ways to connect with you! 'Guess leaving you pennies isn't creative enough for him!
Lots of love!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
PS...And congrats on that very special award directly from Otis to you!!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
