I am not responsible for this, neither the new tripawd or the post. My 12-year-old, Aidan, asked me to post this here. So groan at him. He loves puns!

The story: Our poor old coffee table has given up the ghost, loved to death by many toddlers launching off of it and a couple of dogs banging into it while racing madly underneath. It has been repaired many times and I don't think there's any hope now. But when the leg fell off the other day, Aidan said "Hey, we have another tripawd! You have to post a picture!" I thought it was the funniest thing I'd heard all day. Maybe all week.

From abandoned puppy to Tripawd Warrior Dude, Dakota became one of the 2011 February Furballs due to STS. Our incredibly sweet friend lived with grace and dignity till he impulsively raced over the Bridge on 12-15-12.

Ha! Dan, that's a wonderful idea! I hadn't though of it, but boy what a great Halloween costume that would make! How to get Dakota to let me strap that sucker onto his shoulder...

I love Aiden's sense of humor!  And that he wanted to share.  Good stuff.
