I posted this to my blog but its such a celebratory month that I had to post here too :))

Happy 13th Birthday to my handsome blue-eyed Jake in Heaven!!! Not one single day goes by that I don't wish he was here. I love him and will miss him forever. I send a million kisses to heaven for you every day Mr. Man.  

Happy 2nd Birthday (and 1 year ampuversary) to my crazy-man Tanner!!! For those that don't know, I adopted Tanner 2 weeks after my Jake passed away. The laughter he has brought us is priceless. Jake used to love it when I laughed, he would get so crazy. I know Jake had a purpose in this little guy.

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

YES JAKE! The world is DEFINITIVELY a better place because you two are in it! Specifically, it's a kinder place, a place with more compassion because of you, a loy more giving, a lot more loving. Jake, you brought soooooo many gifts to all of us who had the privilege of getting to know...and one of the best...besides yourself of course, your momma!

And then you put an exclamation point on your happy life by bringing us Tanner!!! OMD!!!! How I wish everyone could meet that crazy clown!!! clown I know the main reaso you sent him to your mom is so you coukd continue to hear her laugh all the way up in heaven!! Because that dog made us all laugh non-stop at the Virginia Tripawd Pawty....just seeing a picture of him makes me laugh! You made the perfect choice!!!

Elizabeth, I love how you celebrated Beautiful Blue Eyed Jake's birth today. The pictures make you smile. And to share Tanner's birth with us today too is quite asymbolic reminder to us if the continuation of life. And through Tanner, and through you and your selfless presence here, Jake's life will continue on.

The pictures are such a treasure...you did a beautiful job of showcasing the personalities of each of these two boys

Thank you for sharing this wonderful celebration of these two precious souls. I imagine the celebration in heaven is a little out of control and rowdy. Jake's probably starting an ice cream food fight with all the Angels! I'm sure he's having a blast!

Jake, Mr. Man, Handsome Blue-eyed Jake, we will NEVER forget you!!!!!!! We loveyou sweet boy!!!superstar

Sending love and appreciation to you Elizabeth!

Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!

Elizabeth,

Happy Birthday to your boys. I'm sure Jake has met up with my amber eyed Maggie and they are gazing into one another's eyes and chasing squirrels. And Tanner is a darling and I bet keeping you on your toes. Thanks for being part of the Tripawd nation!! And of course I'm all about the cake and wine.

Happy Belated Birthday to your amazing Blue-Eyed Jake and Happy Ampuversary to our awesome friend Mr. Tan Man (my boyfriend, Lexie says... boyfriend!)

Jake definitely knew that Tanner was meant to be with you. Love the pics, as always!

Love and big hugs and 3-legged play bow dancing,
