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

First Question: Is that bunny still alive after smelling Barney?
Second Question: Did an Air Marshall finally "take care" of Barney? Perhaps ejecting him from the plane whilst in flight?

Oh my DOG! This is the BEST Barney Vacation EVER! OK call me a little biased when it comes to tropical islands and waffles, but boy am I jealous!
Was that guy in the photos THAT offended by Barney's stench?
And do we get to see Barney 80' under water?
Hey Sally you are too sweet to post these all the way from the island. WOW! I didn't embed the photos for you because I didn't want your story narrative to get out of order, which happens sometimes when you have multiple photos in the same forum post. I can try if you'd like but I think they work just fine.
People click on these photos, they are SOOOO FUNNY!!!!!

OMD, Barney you have gotten to go somewhere I have never been. The look on that guy's face is priceless. I wonder what the neighbors sitting next to Barney thought of his smell LOL. Looks like he had a few too many beers too. I can't wait to see the next adventure he has

I couldn't see the bunny!!
Kathi and murphy
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!

And here's the bunny giving Barney a special "Honduran greeting".......He sure is happy!
Barney wants to go see him every morning so he can get "greeted" by his special bunny friend!
