First Tripawds Pawty Longmont, CO Group Photo

Today is a day that will go down in the history books as the largest Tripawd gathering ever!

What an amazing day it was at our first ever Tripawds gathering in Longmont, Colorado. When we planned this party, we figured we'd be really fortunate if a dozen Tripawds showed up. What an incredible sight it was to see Tripawd after Tripawd coming through the dog park gates!

We believe we had 30 Tripawds attend, but my silly pawrents forgot to bring a guest book so we'll never know for sure. There were so many incredible pawrents and Tripawds of all sizes stopping by all day, we wish that we had more time to get to know each and every one better.20090816w_lily-clayjodi05

We should have some great local newspaper coverage out of this, thanks to Tripawd Lily and her pawrents Clay and Jody, who handled public relations for the event. And our hero Tika gets the award for traveling the farthest for the pawty, all the way from eastern Kansas, an eight hour drive!

We can't thank everyone enough for taking time out to gather with us today. We hope that more of you can come out for our next one sometime in the future.

Better yet, how about planning a Tripawd Pawty in your town?

Here's an excerpt from the Longmont Daily Times reporter who covered the Tripawds Pawty! ...

"Most people don't even notice it right away," said Jan Lund as he watched his three-legged dog explore the park Sunday. "Except my mother, who's 93. She saw him and said, ‘How come he limps?'"

Three paws, all heart
Owners of ‘tripawd' dogs come together at local park
By Scott Rochat
Publish Date: 8/17/2009

And, here's a snippet from the Daily Camera article covering this fabulous event ...

Esther Beck, of Fort Collins, said she was "devastated" when her 3-year-old Great Dane, Athena, was diagnosed with bone cancer. Because Athena was so young, Beck said, she decided to have the affected leg amputated 11 weeks ago.

"We just wanted to give her the best chance we could," Beck said. "The amputation doesn't seem to be slowing her down much."

Hi everybody:

Tika here.  I just wanted to let everybody know that I had the GRANDEST time.  Sister Caya thought that Wyatt Dawg was a a cutie!  However, I WILL have to talk to my agent, because they got my name wrong in the paper! Have you ever!  However, they did take a good picture of me, so I forgive Big Grin.

We spent another day in Estes Park and then went to see my momma's family and her grandma. I got to play around off leash (finally) and torment my 'cousin' a terrier mix about the size of my head.

Mom says if we go to another TriPawd party I am gonig to have to behave myself a bit better around the water dish and that other doggies get to drink water also.  We'll see about that, I LIKE being bossy!

Saturday I'm off to Bark for Life, I can hardly wait to meet even MORE friends.  I was so happy to meet the TriPawds gang, they have made my mom feel so much better since I got sick!

Talk to you all soon, I'll get mom to get her pictures off the camera soon!

--Tika and pack

Hah!

Tim (dad) says it's her stage name......

You know these celebs.  No living with them once fame goes to their heads.

We need to get a Midwest Tripawd convention going!

Tika, we keep forgetting to ask: can we get the recipe for those awesome salmon treats you made? I ate all mine up, they're great!

Awww, you guys,

Our computer is set so the Pawty pictures are always on the screen and every picture makes me so happy!  That day was great.  We can't wait to do it again.
