My family thinks I've gone off the deep end because I bought a Christmas sweater for Tanner. How could I NOT buy him one, look how regal (and calm) he looks! I can't be the only one who does this............right???!!!!

Oh Elizabeth you are definitely not the only person who dresses up their pets. Tanner looks adorable, he poses so sweet.
Maybe we should have an ugly dog sweater contest (here I go with contests) but you wouldn't win because that outfit is really cute. I'm going to have to go out and get Hank and Blink a sweater.

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

Tanner, you look very dapper in your sweater. love it! Myrtle , you are just too cute. Looking pretty perturbed about the dress up. LOL. Gues what, I just bought a blue argyle looking sweater for Daryl. Not Christmas, but it will keep my boy from down South warm up here in the Northeast cold.
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.
