HAPPY HAPPY! SO HAPPY for you and sweet Pearl! And don't count Zuzu out either. Sometimes dogs have their own timetable. We were told 5 years ago our Ollie has congestive heart failure and he's close to being 17 years old now. I know he's getting close now but am amazed at his will and spirit. You enjoy your weekend and celebrate all that's wonderful in life. Extra treats for ALL!
Many hugs((()))
Linda, Ollie, Riley & Spirit Mighty Max
Yeah for Pearl! I think I fell in love with her watching her & ZuZu race through your yard maze over the winter. She's such a doll! (they both are!) I'm so happy for you!!!

Super news! Is it now OK to say "we told you!!!"
Kathi and the Turbotail April Angel...and the Labradork
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!
AHHHHH ..... BIG sigh of relief!!!! YAY!!!

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
Yay! Just read this on Facebook. I am sorry that you got not so good news about ZuZu. She may really surprise you and your vet. Know that no matter what, you have made her SO happy. She is loved beyond measure and no pup can ask for more. Hugs, Lori, Ty and 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.
Hi all,
Now that my weekend is calming down, and my wonderful news about Pearl has finally registered into my heart and brain, I just want to take the time to thank all of you once again. Thank you for staying positive and helping me do the same, thank you for all your kind words of support, and thank you for being here for me. I only hope I can give back to everyone here, what you all have given to me. I don't really know if I actually would have made it through another awful journey so soon after losing my precious Polly, and my sweet Maggie as well, and I am truly grateful that I don't have to now. But I am also grateful to have such wonderful friends to be there if any one of us ever falls.
Holding all of you within my heart, ❤️
Bonnie, Angel Polly, Pearl, and Zuzu 🐾
