Yep! That would be Daryl. Jump off the side, give me a panic attack. They are having so much fun. BTW, how do you get your video on here? I have a cute one of Chandler smiling and I cannot get it to go on a post and play. User error I am sure, I am so not Tech savvy. Hugs Lori , Ty and the gang

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.

I love how well they play together, they truly adore each other! And Huckle-Frankie is displaying his super-Tripawd powers with his short-term flying abilities!

Stay safe in the snow, M.M. And H.F......but have fun!

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

Looks like you are going to have to put one of those arching covers over the ramp to keep him from jumping off- like they do on freeway overpasses to keep people from throwing things on the freeway... or does that just happen in California?

 

I love how they get along so well, what a wonderful pair.

OH holy crap!!!! I think you need something covering the side because I would be needing an ambulance for me for a heart attack.  Crazy kid.

I love how they play so well with each other :)   I am so glad Merry Myrtle has a friend to play with.  Definitely can't tell he is missing that front leg.
