So, my mother was out walking and met a neighbor walking his dog. The dog is a chocolate lab and a tripawd and his name.....BO!!!! My mom calls me and tells me that I have to come over and meet this dog. So, Lee and I went over to my parents tonight for my birthday celebration and after dinner we walked over to the neighbor's house. Sure enough, here he comes...another Tripawd Bo!

He is a tripawd from an accident and still has his front, right leg attached, but he doesn't use it at all. He gets around beautifully and just to see that signature tripawd hop again melted my heart. We got lots of love and kisses...and boy did we need it. I tried to take a picture of him, but apparently he is scared of cameras. He actually pushed opened the door and went back in the house when I took my phone out to snap a picture! I told his pawrents about Tripawds, so hopefully we will see them on here soon!

The little visit with another Tripawd Bo gave me great happiness. I know that although my Bo is no longer with us, he spirit carries on and will show up when I least expect it. Happy late birthday to me!!!

Awww, that's sweet. Glad you got a little birthday loving from a tripawd Bo! Maybe your Bo had a paw in arranging that!

Hope you are having a good extended bday celebration.

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!

Awww! That is such a sweet story. I know that helped your heart!! I never got to tell you Meghan how sorry I am for Bo's passing. It happened when school first started and I was too busy to go on Tripawds for a while. I just loved your stories about Bo and enjoyed hearing everything about him. I know he was a wonderful Dog. And you were a wonderful Tripawd Mommy!! smiley

Awww, what a special gift on your big day. Hoppy Birthday Meghan!

These little signs are special clues that Angel Animals love to send to their pawrents when they need it most. Pretty cool eh?! Thanks for telling the pawrents about Tripawds, we hope we meet Choco Bo soon!

Wow, Meghan!  That definitely had to be a sign from Bo!  How cool was that?!?  I got goosebumps reading it.  What a wonderful birthday present for you on your day!
