It's been a while since I shared an Ollie video, but this one just begs to be seen by Murphy's friends. Apparently there is a way to send lessons from the Rainbow Bridge. Gus and Murphy have done a great job of it. We have to keep a sharp eye out until we can install the dreaded fence.

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!

Ohhhh the crunchy goodness of green beans! I love watching Ollie do the summer harvest, I'm sure Murphy and Gus are having a ball too!

But how will he be able to get to his beans if you put up a fence?Β heart

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...

πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ THIS MAKES ME SOOOOOO HAPPY πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ No, you haven't posted in awhile, but this was well worth the wait!!!!

COMP!! CHOMP!!! Nothing better than crisp green beans straight off the vine!! πŸ™‚ And Ollie made sure he got every morsel off the ground too!

This gives me extra "warm fuzzies" knowing Murphy and Gus taught Oliie their gardening skills!!

Did they teach Ollie the art of eating waffles (or was it pancakes)? I can't remember if you videoed Ollie having his breakfast treat or not. I sure remember the video of well behaved Gus and Turvo Tail Murphy politely savoring each bite! πŸ™‚

Tha ks sooooo much for this fun, fun, fun smiles making video!! Ollie REALLY is a very handsome boy! πŸ™‚

Love always!

Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!

You did see the "green bean" tribute on the Celebration of Life table....Tribute table from the pawrty, right?

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!
