OOOOOMMMDDDDD! You guys are caracking me up! These pups MUST be taking some cracky whacky weed or drinking Red Bull instead of water!
Just thought I'd show you apicture of dogs NOT on crack....eh...eh.....me bad. Actually, just an excuse to post a cute picture...and one of the few times Frankie is QUIET!!
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!

Snickers got a tap on the butt yesterday morning because she was trying to get a bone from Jasmine and I had bent down to get my shoes and she shoved the door & door knob into my eye. So now I have a black eye.
Bless your heart Michelle....a black eye from Snickers...
. I think that takes the cake right now. Lord I'd hate to have to keep explaining how a fur kid gave me a black eye. Bring out the shades and lots of makeup...
Hope the eye heals soon!!

Thanks Sally for rubbing in that you have two precious Angels in your home...
. How do you feel about trading Lucian for Merry Myrtle????
Just kidding...Lucian may be an a$$hole at times but he's my a$$hole all the same!!
Love the pic of Frankie and Myrtle together...so peaceful...

Oh you guys are killing me... talk about perspective! I don't know how you people with multiple dogs do it! I would go bat crazy if I had more than one "Jasper".....
Well thank you for the stories about Lucian .... definitely terrible twos early. No poopy here (thank GOD) and it would be really hard not to try and re-home that baby! Kidding. But I do remember when Shelby was naughty and fearless I would threaten to rehome her but I would never have done it. I am thankful Jasper doesn't speak English well so she doesn't understand when I tell her that "shelby never did that"....
And that photo of Frankie and Myrtle ... soooooo cute!!! I just want to crawl in there and snuggle too!!!
So another little sign from my best girl! Last night Jasper and I went to our first 'summer movie night of the season' ... outdoor movies that are dog friendly. Jasper did great except for her food sharking... anyways, as usual, posted a photo on FB of me and some of my friends and we got a ton of "likes" (Sally, you know that means that people click "like" that they like the photo")... anyway, got home and was scrolling the likes and saw one from someone named "Shelby Lynn"... it was one of my friend's friends .... I had NO idea she had a friend named "Shelby Lynn" and she'd never mentioned it.
I knew that wasn't for me but it kind of was... to see that name (even though it wasn't spelled the same)... yeah, I'll take it as a sign that MY Shelby Lynne liked and approved of our night out! 🙂
BTW - the movie was Breakfast at Tiffany's .... a classic... complete w/our pearls and tiara! XXOO

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
Alison! You and Jasper would be so much fun to pal around with!!! We HAVE to arrange a Tripawd Pawty around the presence of you two! It would have to be a week long and in California to immerse ourselves in "a day in the life of Jasper Lily, the dog who understands very little English, but apparently can speak Spainish fluently, and ner winery loving Mom"!!!
Wpuld you hit that "like" button a few times for me on the FB page??? Cause I know I woukd!! In fact, if they have a "love" button, hit that sucker a few dozen times roo!!
And without wuestion, Shelby Lynne was letting you know, not only did she approve of your.night out", but she was right there with you!! She gives you unmistakable signs!!
Love you Alison! LOTS!!!!!!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!

Sally ... we would LOVE visitors ... we're definitely trying to plan for our trip back east for your next get together for sure!!!
Here's the photo of me, JL and my friend Carol (who just lost her beloved kitty of 15 years...)
And what night out to see "breakfast at tiffany's" doesn't include a tiara ... I lent JL the pearls.

OMD!!! I adore this thread! I've been crying and laughing all at the same time! From the "Tiffanies" to the "a$$holes", I'm about to pee-my-pants!
Just adding: Meesha calls me Treat. Mel calls me Stick. And you know those Spot-bots for pet "accidents"? I've got spotted patterned carpet throughout the house.
Harmony became a Tripawd on 10/21/14 (MCT). She left us way too soon on 11/1/14.
