LOVE THOSE!!! And guess whose banner was at the top when these came up? That Angel Sassy is watching everything they do.
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!

OOOOOMMMMMDDDDDD!!! These are sacred treasures!! Hilarious sacred treasures!!
I'm laughing so hard at, not only how cute they are, but how you are using your strongest disciplinary voice....and nobody's listening!!! I'm LMAO at you telling Snickers to get OFF Jasmjne! She ignored you completely! Merry Myrtle didn't though....she immediately jumped OFF the sofa when I played this!
And Snickers going at Jazz and Bosch on the sliding board...and......ignoring you yet again!!! You can see Snickers laughing...yes you can!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ,that the pups (and that includes Bosch), like to play "king of the mountain" on the slide!
Bosch is truly momma's little helper when it comes to getting these pups to behave.
"SNICKERS!! DROP IT!!! DROP IT! GET OFF HER FEET!" Laughing so hard tears are rolling down!! For whatever it's worth, Myrtle immediately dropped her stuffy!
You and Bosch REALLY have your hands/paws full kiddo! It makes me so happy though to see all the fun and joy these two have brought into your life. Sassy made sure you would jave a reason to laugh everyday. And I guarantee, with Jazz and Snickers in yiur life (and of course Bosch too), you laugh every single day!
These really, really were so much fun to watch!! Thank yiu so much for sharing the joy! Please don't wait so long between videos though! These girls make us all smile...and you trying to control them makes me laugh!!!
Love, love, love you and the pack!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
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!
Murphy is like Bosch - standing outside the fun and barking at it! lol
You sound really mean Michelle, yelling at Snickers like that - she almost seems worried about it! lol
Donna, Glenn & Murphy
Murphy had his right front leg amputated due to histiocytic sarcoma at 7 years old. He survived 4 years, 2 months & 1 week, only to be taken by hemangiosarcoma at 11 1/2 years 6/12/17

Yeah Donna, you're so right! Tthat's what's so funny! Michelle is conjuring up her scariest, most intimidating voice possible, and all the dogs are playing deaf!

Thanks everyone. Snickers listens a lot better inside than when outside. If I get her off then Jazz will go after her so eventually I just give up and let them play but I really don't like her biting legs. Also if anyone has ideas of breaking the habit she has of taking their coats off I would appreciate it. I tried the stop stuff doesn't work so well with her outside (inside yes). I am thinking maybe a whistle or air horn or something. Which I am sure the neighbors will love at 6 am LOL

LOVE!!!!
I had a kitty a long time ago that I eventually changed her name to Dammit, "Dammit, get off that counter!" "Dammit, drop it!" "Dammit, leave him alone!"
Over time, wherever I was in the house, when I yelled "dammit", she would come running.
Harmony became a Tripawd on 10/21/14 (MCT). She left us way too soon on 11/1/14.

Awwww.....I wanna come snuggle with some Rotties! I love their sleeping positions. Hard to believe these gentle little sleepy girls play so hard and in a rough a d tumble way when they're awake!
Thank goodness for the Big Barker Bed or Bosch would be on your pillow!
And clearly Michelle sleeps like a pretzel though!
Love these doggies..and love our Michelle!!

Too cute! Can't help you with the coat removal thing. I used to have a horse that took off everyone's fly masks and dropped them all over the field for me to go look for. Never was able to make him stop. Of course, I never did anything but tell him to stop doing it:-) Would a clicker work outside? I am actually getting a laugh from the air horn idea. I have this mental picture of your neighbors being jolted awake at 6 AM. Sort of like the neighbors in National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. LOL Lori, Ty & 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 just got a chance to watch these and glad I didn't watch them at the office! LOL ... the commentary was great!!!
I don't have any advice ... those are some BIG dogs and I've always had little dogs that I could grab and correct!
These are GREAT fun!!! Bless your heart having 3 big dogs ... I can barely handle the little one I have here. LOL

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
