MEGAN!!!!!! Soooooo good to hear from you AND to see Samson's avatar picture!!! His presence still looms large here!! When people jave concerns about how senior dogs will do with amputation, I often use the Sammer as an outstanding example of how well "mature dogs" can do! Of course they have to be strong willed and stubborn like Sam!I think Sam is sending you I dia! The kitties will adjust!
Much love to you!

Hahaha! Sampson was a great example...He really was a one-in a million dog, that's for sure. Although, he would tell you...he was old, a veritable senior citizen...but never "mature" 😀 Too much leg-humping and rabbit chasing to be mature 😉

Oh Dawggies. Thought I posted an update on here awhile ago. India has been ADOPTED by a Southern CA couple with previous tripawd experience. Wooooohooooo! What lucky people they are 
 I wonder who they are???Â
Woohoo! Tripawds Rule!
Regulator of the Oaktown Pack, Sheriff of the Oaktown Pawsse, Founding member and President of the Tripawd Girldogs With 2 Names ROCK Club, and ... Tripawd Girldog Extraordinaire!
Ohhh fantastic news! I hope they come here to tell us more about her. Thanks for the update.

I thought for sure India was holding out for Wyatt to come get her...guess not!
Sounds like she has a wonderful home and with someone who already knows the joy of loving a tripawd.
Thanks for the happy update! 🙂
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!
Down by me? I sure hope we learn more about them and recruit them to drive up for our pawty!!!Â

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
