jerry Jerry the tripod bone cancer dog reviews pet health insurance coverage options and costs.
Many thanks to Barley’s people for sharing his story with us …
Born in the woods of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, Barley moved to California’s Mendocino County when he was 6 months old.
He enjoyed 11 years of hiking, swimming, over 6 cross-country road trips, and more kisses from his people than you’d think possible.
In the fall of 2007, his front leg gave out and he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. Just before Thanksgiving, his leg was amputated.
A fellow dog lover just let us know about this special pup at the Lost and Found Dog Rescue in Wilmington, Delaware who is still in need of a foster home. Please visit the L&F website for complete information about adopting Barnaby.
Barnaby is a Lab/Hound mix about one and a half years old. A special friend has paid his vet bills, so there will be no adoption donation required for Barnaby! Plus the shelter will provide a one year supply of the the joint pain medication he needs to manage his pain from losing his leg.
He is a very loving boy and gets along well with most dogs, but not cats. He is young and strong but the weight of his body makes his remaining front leg bend in a painful way.
Jerry is featured in the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper and on KHSU Alternative therapy radio program.

I’m so happy to hear that Only Natural Pet Store just opened their first retail store in Boulder, CO.
I’m glad because we’re spending the summer in Colorado and maybe I’ll get to visit this new super pet store that sells only natural dog and cat products. But I’m especially happy to hear this news, because society needs more stores like this. Hopefully it’s the first of many to come!
This news reminds me of how upset I get about the mass market crap pushed on unsuspecting pet owners by the leading pet store chains. One time we received a free gift from one of the major “pet marts” but I would have nothing to do with it. The list of ingredients on this “treat” reminded my people of the tainted pet food recall tragedy.

Here’s to Gus, the three-legged Chinese Crested for winning the 2008 Ugliest Dog Contest in Petaluma, CA during the recent Sonoma-Marin Fair!
He may not be a much to look at, with skin cancer, one eye and no hair, but with three legs how can you not love this little guy? Apparently his missing limb earned him a few extra points, but I think he looks better with three legs than any hairless dog I’ve ever seen … not that I’ve ever really seen any in person. Or in dog, rather
