It's that time again!
The next Nor Cal Tripawds Meet-Up will be Saturday November 5, 2016 at the Mill Valley Dog Park.
We start around 11:00 am and hang out until 2:00 or 3:00 pm.
Last time we got to meet the mysterious Mike and Iris!
What new faces and muzzles will we meet this time?
It doesn't matter how many legs you have, all are welcome!

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
Hello! Lua and I would love to come as her first outing and first time meeting other tripawds! She has suffered a lot of trauma and I'd love to see her interact with other tripups!! And I'll probably have + 1 or 2 4 legged friends haha

yes! we live in Oakland! I was so happy to see a local get together happening 
There is an event in San Francisco this weekend- maybe too early for Chance? A fundraiser for The Tripawds Foundation : Howl-O-Ween 2016.
I know Kim and Hannah will be there, as well as at least one pup from the OakTown Pack (Three Tripawd GSDs, one four legged mutt, and a couple of pretty cool peeps!).
If I don't see you there I'll see you in a couple weeks.

oh cool! Chance gets his stitches out on Wednesday and doc will assess his progress and let me know how much activity he is allowed to have, etc. Last report from him last week was that all was looking good! And Chance seems to desperately want to come out with us on walks and adventures. Hopefully we can make it! If not, for sure November 5th 
Howdy, the P.P. is already doing TRIPAWD Twirls and hopefully her new "little" brother will tag along!
Wooo Hooo! We can't wait!
Oh Shelby has a new little brother?!? I hope he can join! Can't wait to see you all this weekend!!!
