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
Sally,
That Myrtle has the cutest face even trying to tear off your sleeve she is adorable. My Hank is a terrible chewer, worse I've ever had. He chews on my toes, I give him an appropriate toy. That lasts for 1 second then he's on my toes again or arm or pant leg. Poor Blink, he hangs off her like a barracuda. I can only hope time (not too much time) will resolve this. Meanwhile I'm just going to wear chainmail around him.

Bahahahahaha! Ms Myrtle, you little smart aleck you! Its a good thing she is REALLY stinkin adorable, it makes having your arm chewed on so much more bearable :)))

Myrtle, Myrtle, Myrtle. You need to realize that if you hurt that hand, it won't be able to feed you!! But you are so stinkin' cute that it would be next to impossible to tell you no.
Murphy had a thing for ears. If they were down at his level, they were snack food. He will still nibble on Garry's ears occasionally, but he knows he had better leave mine alone!
Kathi and Murphy
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!
Oh Sally!
Merry Myrtle is a beautiful girl - who really, really wants you to know how much she loves you 
Hugs
