Thanks, Elizabeth!

Kathi and Murphy

Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!

UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!

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

Every single picture......Every single M one......captured the essence of each dog and the multi layers of their personality just PERFECTLY!!!!!clap

And every photo...E V E R Y PHOTO...brought back the treasured memory of that particular moment! I found myself commenting out loud about each picture, laughing, clapping, feeling my heart melt......you just did an EXQUISITE job with these and the slide show. There was so much love, compassion and thoughtfulness with every photo you posted.

You are such a treasure to us all! Thank you will never be enough.......but thank you for eternity and a day!

Sending love, gratitude and always a reminder that you are surrounded by Jake'seternal grace! And give that precious daughter, cute Eric, and "no holes barred Tanner" all big hugs for me! Myrtle clearly adored Kaylee!

Sally and Happy Hannah and Myrtle too!

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!

Amazing pictures, Elizabeth -- can't thank you enough! (And Eric, too, in case any of those were his.) and thanks again to you and Angel Jake and Tanner and the wonderful Sally & Happy Hannah and Myrtle for hosting and organizing.

It was such a special day, and definitely the most fun we've had together since Lexie became a Tripawd.

And it was funny...hope this isn't TMI, but I ended up pulling out my unwashed since the party capris to do yard and housework today. Lexie came right over and started sniffing. I think the smells brought back fond memories of all the friends she made!

Deb and Angel Lexie* Diagnosed at age 13. Tried radiation first; wish we had amputated upon diagnosis (even with lung mets). Joined Club Tripawd April 2014 & Lexie loved life on 3 legs! Advice: Start physical therapy as soon as your vet clears it, especially hydrotherapy if available :-) See Lexie pics here.

Whadda' ya' meannyou washed them!? Those pants are a sacred treasure and should be put in the Smithsonian!!

Okay, I can't find the video of Lexie and Tanner eight now, bur....shhhhhhh......I found one of that two-timing-no-morals Tanner putting the moves on a younger woman! Sweet Ariel had no idea he had already been "locking lips" with Lexie!! And Myrtle was telling on him too! Girl bonding at its finest!!

Okay, let me see if it's you tubed yet! Takes forever kn tablets.....or Verizon connection (or lack thereof)

Awww, I bet Lexie was so excited. I still can't get over both her and Zach, the "seniors" of the group who sure didn't seem very senior at all! 

......and Tanner!! What a dirty dog! LOL He is definitely a ladies man, but he sure kept going right back to Lexie!
