Hey everypawdy,
First, we want to say THANK YOU for being such a great community! 
Everyone here is so helpful to new and old members alike and sharing such great information, tips, videos, Tripawds blog posts, etc. It's so cool to come to the Forums and see how everyone is here for one another. We know Jerry is so proud! Thank you thank you thank you.
We wanted to let you know that if you don't see us around here a whole lot over the next couple of months, and not too much blogging going on, it's because this summer we are putting in a lot of hours working at our favorite Colorado ranch. It was a place that Jerry loved most out of all of our travels. We've been coming back most summers since 2008. Every time we return we feel Jerry's presence so strongly.
In the meantime, this is what our first day at work looked like yesterday. As you can see, Wyatt had all the real fun!
Wyatt will be sharing more of his adventures in his blog real soon. Until then, if you need anything urgently, you can reach us at 707-845-3129 or of course call the Tripawds Helpline and someone will be back in touch asap OK?
Thanks again. Here's to a great summer ahead for everypawdy!
xoxo

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

We're in the full-swing of summer tourist season, here. If you haven't seen us around lately, it's because we're working all day at the ranch, then coming home and working nights behind the scenes here and on our other stuff, like Admin's freelance web work, my writing, jewelry, etc. It's a crazy time and although we haven't had much of a presence in the Forums or on the blogs lately, there's not a minute that goes by when we aren't thinking about this amazing community. We try hard to keep updated on everything though.
We can't thank you all enough for being there for new and old members alike. It's so comforting to come here and see the amazing, helpful, knowledgeable and upbeat advice everyone shares. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
If you ever need something urgently, please don't hesitate to call or text us at 707-845-3129.
Here are some fun photos of Wyatt on his ampuversary. He had a blast!
