Etta played with her toys this morning which is very rare since her surgery. It was especially poignant for me given that she is going through such a rough time with the chemo and back pain .... She was much more active a few minutes before but couldn't get my camera in time... regardless, I do cherish the good days... moments etc...
Our angel "Etta" amputation on 4-15-10 lost her front limb. initially dx'd with neurofibrosarcoma. However, after surgery they discovered histiocytic sarcoma a very aggressive cancer. After two full rounds of chemo our special angel lost her battle on 6-21-10. the sweetest and most gentle soul. Our lives are forever blessed for having known her...
Destuffing is great therapy! Thanks for sharing.

YIPPY! Etta - you go girl!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
these are the moments that make "the long scary nights of worry" worthwhile. pass the kleenex, and all hail etta!!!
Life is good, so very, very good!!! Gayle enjoyed each and every moment of each and every wonderful day (naps included). She left this world December 12, 2011 – off on a new adventure.
Love Never Ends

Kami (Mackenzie's Mom)
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
What a sweetheart! I just want to kiss that adorable face of hers!!! Thanks for sharing the video!!
