It was a busy weekend for me! First, My human sister and her boyfriend came to see me. They LOVE me! I cuddled with them all weekend. They even tried to sneak me upstairs, My Mom does not want me up there because she says I need to be careful on my leg. Our bedroom is downstairs so she says I don't need to be up there, I think she is hiding something good up there. Then my Mom ordered me this thing she calls a harness. She says it will help me do things like get in and out of the car and off the 4 wheeler since I like to ride on the seat like my humans( you can see more from up there, don't tell Lucy though, she rides on the floor.) Anyhow, I like to jump right down off the seat to the ground and my Mom says no way! She put this strange thing on me because she says I need to get used to wearing it sometimes. I am not too sure I like it even though she says I look very handsome in it. I am currently pouting on the front porch. When my Dad comes home, he will take this thing off, I know it. He says she babies me. Don't tell my Mom since she is the one who found me and did all the paperwork, oh and she is my food ticket also, but my Dad is sort of my favorite. Shhh! don't tell her though. winkerDaryl

TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed  and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.

Oh Lori!!!!! I love it when I have the lump in my throat from joy...and the tears welling up from happiness!!!

This is a DELIGHTFUL, ABSOLUTLEY DELIGHTFUL post from DARYL!!!

Daryl, sweet boy, your secrets are safe with us!! You really have everything figured out very well young man! I bet if you can convince Lucy that the harness is really a chastity belt for her, she'll rip that thing to shreds in no time!!!

I love that you figured out your Dad is the one who lets you be a wild child! Just remember, Dads can lose their common sense sometimes, and remember also, your Mom IS indeed your food ticket and IS indeed the one who got you in this Paridise of a home!!

Ty Guy, you did it big boy...you picked out the PERFECT one for them! You knew best all along! You better start sending dollar bills, looks like this fella is gonna go thru a lot of harnesses!

So happy for you Lori. Thank you for making us all smile today!

LOVE TO ALL!!

Sally and Happy Hannah and Merry 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!

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
