Awwwwww sweet Chloe!! Even with that stupid cone your beauty cannot be diminished:-) 
So glad you're home resting up. I know your sparkle will be back full force in no time:-) You're showing seniors how great life can be on three legs. Of course, having such a loving mom take card of your every need helps greatly:-)
All tripawds raise their glasses for a champagne toast to the classy Chloe!
More photos (sana cone):-) Sally and Happy Hannah
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!
Thank you Sally & Hannah
UPDATE, BIOPSY RESULTS ARE IN!
The lump was benign!!!! To quote the vet (had to listen to message a couple times):
Just got the biopsy result back from the lab and wanted to give you the good news. This is a benign condition, technicially its not even a tumor, but its essentially a conglomerate of glandular material accumulating within the skin and that tissue right below the skin. Its technically called fibroadnexil dysplasia. The take home message is that this was removed completely, its completely benign, it should not regrow, so all in all I think this is great news.
For more information, I tried looking up fibroadnexil dysplasia, but really the vet described it best. So, its NOT cancer and I am SO HAPPY! YEA! For some picture fun, I put in one of my older picture song videos of Chloe (her 1 yr ampuversary celebration to "Lean on Me" Glee Cast Version from 2011)
Thank you all for thinking pawsitve thoughts and keeping your fingers crossed for Chloe during this time! All the support is GREATLY appreciated, you guys are the best!
Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog

Oh gosh. I didn't have time to watch that video before at work, and I just did and now I am sobbing. What a beautiful video, how did you make that!? I just love it. I have really been looking for a pick me up lately and some great news and this has just made my weekend start off right. I'm so happy you got this great news. Chloe is a hero and she and you have just given me a much needed boost of renewed hope.

rica55: I have a mac and it comes with iMovie, a software that allows me to make movies using movie clips and pictures I've taken with my phone. Some tech savvy people with pcs might have info on programs to use for those, since I don't know othertwise. iMovie is great (though limited) and works for my simple purposes of putting pictures and movie clips to a song! Chloe and I wish you and Jill the best of luck through your journey! Like I said before, its great to see more kitty cats fighting the good fight here (even though its the community nobody wants to have to belong to, considering the circumstances that bring each member here), since some other kitty family will be able to learn so much from your experiences.

I am soooooooo happy forou and Chloe...soooooo gloriously, ecstatically, cow jumped over the moon hapy:-)

The way some of the photos "framed" Chloe walking the water's edge with the sky and her reflection in the water......ohhhhhh...all of the footage and the photos were just pure manic!!:-) Pure n nourishment for the soul!!
We celebrate with you NAD so happy every time one of our own wins!!
Much love....computer gonna cut off Sally and Happy Hannah

Wow #3 in July........going shopping now for pup presents!!
Tried to get back into my Message" to change pure manic.....to pure MAGIC. but hope full you figured out what I meant:-)
This darn thing is freezing up again #%$$#%##%#...grrrrrr. wanted to say more about the creativity in the video and the way you captured Chloe's essence. It really shows what people are "missing" if they deprive their self the bliss of loving a dog....and the privilege of having a dog love you back. You see it all in Chloe's video:-)
Okay, I'll say right ow ad dream about all the tripawds who lean on us.....just like we all lean on each other in this community:-)
So happy for you....lots of love-----Sally and Happy Hannah

Well amen Chloe!!! I'm all caught up to speed now on this thread! Glad I read the whole thing and got the GREAT results!! Awesome! I have been MIA in the forums too due to Maggie's issues but things have settled for her so maybe now I can get up to date on other tripawds!
So happy to hear this Chloe! I have gone to your blog a couple of times recently but there were no updates but I'm guessing now you have this on there...
Tracy & Maggie
Maggie was amputated for soft tissue sarcoma 10-20-09
Maggie lost her battle with kidney disease on 8-24-13

Tracy, so the theme I chose was supposed to 'highlight' the most recent post, but really the theme hides it at the top of the page in a brown box. I changed my theme back to my original to prevent this problem in the future. Here is the post I wrote Friday, but it basically is a compilaiton of this thread http://nbobco.t.....om/?p=1219 sorry you couldn't find it!
