And here's the Tiara! I think it needs to be sized down for little Shelby.
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!
I think it fit Hannah perfect. Way to wear that Tiara Hannah. I know you would share with Shelby though that is the kind of baby you were.

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

Hi Sally! Wow, time sure has gone by, and I have not been here in a long time. I have the Tripawds calendar in my kitchen and when I turned the page to November and saw Happy Hannah, I was so happy happy happy! That is such a sweet and endearing photo of her. Something nudged me to get on here, and check on you. I am sorry I was not around 6 months ago for support when Hannah passed. You were one of the people who was SO there for me during my hard time with Nesta, 14 months ago. Truth is, the pain was challenging, and I could not bare to spend time here. But I felt bad for that, because I wanted to be here for people, like they were for me. I could not have gotten through it the way that I did had it not been for you and the others here in the Tripawds community. I am sorry I was not here for you. I know it must have been hard. But I also know that tremendous LOVE you share with Hannah has helped you endure.
WHat a beautiful wood stove and a beautiful tribute to her. I am proud to have her picture hanging on my wall this month, November, the month of Thanks-giving. Did you see Nesta in July? I am glad they are in the same calendar together. I love this calendar and will save it forever. I love that I have photos of some of the Tripawds doggies who were going through cancer the same time as Nesta and I will forever be reminded of their humans and the outpooring of LOVE in this community. The love that brought me back here again.
I missed this post - I can't believe it has been 6 months. Hannah was always larger than life and still is. What a beautiful tribute. Thinking of you and hugs to Merry Myrtle!
