		<description><![CDATA[Three legged dog parents learn to share good and bad news in Tripawds Discussion Forums for 3-legged amputees.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="shutter" href="http://tripawds.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/tripawd_pals-3/0615-9_caesar.jpg"><img class="alignleft" title="Three legged Staffordshire Terrier Ceasar" src="http://tripawds.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/tripawd_pals-3/0615-9_caesar.jpg" alt="" width="234" height="175" /></a>At Tripawds, many of us are three legged dogs because we are battling cancer. Sometimes it seems like we go through periods of time in the <a title="Dog Amputation Discussion Forums" href="http://tripawds.com/forums/" target="_blank">Tripawds Discussion Forums</a>, when all we hear is sad news about our friends&#8217; cancer battles.</p>
<p>We all know that life has its ups and downs. We would not exist without both good and bad. Life and death are the yin and yang of the Universe. We dogs try not to focus too much on this though, and strive for that perfect balance of living in the moment.</p>
<p>But humans, on the other hand, don&#8217;t often see life like we do. Many struggle with the conflict at Nature&#8217;s core. Occasionally we hear from Tripawd pawrents who feel guilty about sharing the good news they have, when there&#8217;s a glut of &#8220;<a title="coping with pet loss and hospice discussion" href="http://tripawds.com/forums/coping-with-loss/" target="_blank">bad news</a>&#8221; in the Forums. When the current mood of discussions is somewhat somber, these kind pawrents feel as if they shouldn&#8217;t shine a light on their own tripawds who are doing well.</p>
<p><a class="shutter" href="http://tripawds.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/tripawd_pals-3/0809_montana2.jpg"><img class="alignright" title="Three legged Montana plays with Dad" src="http://tripawds.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/tripawd_pals-3/0809_montana2.jpg" alt="" width="241" height="181" /></a>Silly humans, don&#8217;t you know we need your pawsitive energy and happy thoughts here <em>all the time</em>? And when tears are being shed and it seems like life can&#8217;t get any darker, that&#8217;s when we need your <a title="three legged pun dictionary tripawds lexicon" href="http://tripawds.com/forums/tips-and-resources/the-tripawd-dictionary/" target="_blank">pawsitivity</a> most!</p>
<p><a title="100 most active tripawds three legged dog blogs" href="http://tripawds.com/blogs" target="_self">Tripawds Blogs members</a> and guests alike want to read about your tripawd&#8217;s triumphs and stories about <a title="Senior dog recovers from amputation" href="http://tripawds.com/forums/treatment-and-recovery/stacy-passes-check-up-with-flying-colors/" target="_blank">overcoming obstacles</a>, <a title="Senior Dog Jake Recovers from Amputation" href="http://tripawds.com/forums/share-your-story/jake-10-yr-old-golden-retriever-recovering-1/" target="_blank">getting strong</a>, and <a title="Three legged Arizona Chuy" href="http://chuymaloney.tripawds.com/" target="_blank">finding joy in life</a>. These are the happy things that keep us all going when life gets ruff, and help newcomers see the pawsibilities of life on three legs.</p>
