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

Franklin is gorgeous, and so playful! Lucky, lucky dog to have landed in your home. And as a transporter - a heartfelt thank you for choosing to adopt.  You saved not only Franklin, but made room for one more to live. Awesome!

Oh Sally, they play so well together. What fun! Frankie is so fast and agile.

I think Merry Myrtle is in love. She just can't let him be. Mind you, the word "cookie" does stop her in her tracks. laughing

I think that Merry Myrtle has totally forgotten about the Starbucks drive-through that she ordered from Santa. Instead she got a coonhound (Ukrainian Christmas gift I guess).

I've got to go back and watch that video again.

I just have to ask - is what I have circled Frankie's leg? And if so, which one? If so, how did it get over there?

Loving it!!!!

Kathi and Murphy

Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!

UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!

I love the video.  Myrtle cracks me up.  "here is a stick I am sharing take it, I don't care if you don't want it."  They play really well together.  :)   She looks so happy having a friend to play with.  Frankie is so fast amazing...

Love how they sleep together.  Like they had been "brother & sister" forever

Love, love, love the video and how they are together! He looks just like Cooper, albeit different coloring, gotta love a Coon :)!

Has he sang/bayed yet?

Looking at them you would never guess that they have known each other less than 48 hours! Talk about bonded!

So happy for you :)!

Huge hugs from Montreal!
