I
WANT

(I've not seen four legs in awhile, I don't remember any pics of JL and I can always do with seeing a happy dog! )

Osteo and amputation in Dec 2015. Second, inoperable, primary osteosarcoma found in June 2017.
The end of our adventures came Dec 10, 2017. 2 years to the day.
So the good news is... Jasper is 100% back to normal but the bad news ... her madre has a cold. 
We'll take it! I am going to drug the cr@p out of myself and knock this out but a playful and rest puppy is definitely tough when you aren't feeling the greatest!
But you asked for photos so here you go.

Mama... throw the ball!
Madre... I see you are sitting on the couch... might I offer you the ball to throw...
And from Thursday... laying on the floor with her (just like I used to do with Shelby)... she didn't really want me to comfort her but I think she took comfort in knowing I was there.
And she slept in the laundry basket again last night (I left her off the bed just in case her booty was leaky). She has 3 beds in that room and chooses my dirty workout clothes to nest in. She's back in the bed tonight and I'm off to do laundry! Thank you all again!!! Your support helped sooooooo much!

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
I remember when Manni was younger he would have no mercy whatsoever when I was ill so I sympathize!! Hope you're feeling better soon!
Thank you for the pictures!! JL is gorgeous and she's got 'the Look' figured out perfectly, hasn't she??!! Do you still try to resist that?? 😂

First, happy belated birthday my sweet! So sorry I missed it. Second, you can't imagine how happy I am that JL is okay. WHEW!
Our Mel (Melody) would get sick like that every spring and fall until we moved. Never knew (vet couldn't figure it out either) what it was that was causing her illness, but she would always scare the bajeebers out of me.
Now Meesha actually ate a hickory nut which got lodged in her intestines for all the tests and an expensive surgery. Where we live now, she hasn't access to nuts, but I'm constantly watching all of them!!!
Whew, now I can breathe. Give JL a big ole smooch for me!
Harmony became a Tripawd on 10/21/14 (MCT). She left us way too soon on 11/1/14.

Ruby, Staffy, born June 2022, became a Tripawd, November 2023, adopted January 2024.
Also Angel Tripawd Meg (aka The Megastar), who died in April 2023, aged 14, after seven glorious years on three, and Angel Staffies Elsie Pie and Bille. In the pawprints of giants...
