Oh Rosie, you make me shiver just looking at you in that cold water! You should definitely feel superior! You are pawesome!
And so cute!!

Jackie, Abby's mom

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.

Lizzie says 'Nuh uh, no way, ain't happenin'!' It's hard enough to get her to swim in warm water, she'd murder me if it was cold!

Also proud mommy to Vito, 3(?) yr old GSD. Adoption weight: 58lbs. Current weight: 90lbs. Goal weight: 85-90lbs (ACHIEVED!). Tested positive for EPI on March 30th, 2011 and stable ever since.

I asked Tani if she wanted to go swimming and she said 'huh?'*

I asked Obie if he wanted to go swimming and his reply cannot be published in a PG setting. **

 

So sorry, no takers here.

** Obie doesn't even like to walk on the sidewalk when it is damp,   that's my manly man!

LOVE all the pictures of Rosie!  That last one about global warming is the best!  If Chili Dawg were still here, he would join you in a heart beat- he loved water.  Finchy will politely decline.  He doesn't even like to step in a rain puddle.

Diagnosed with OSA: 5/2/2011 Ampuversary: 5/11/2011 OSA returned in hip: 8/26/2011
Chili Dawg crossed the Rainbow Bridge on 8/30/2011 & is now pain free. He was my heart dog, and I miss him every day.

Spirit Samson was Spirit Tripawd Daisys four legged "brother" and ruled as the self proclaimed head of the Monkeybutt Federations East Coast Division. Lady Chunky Monkey stayed from Oct 2011 and left for the bridge in Apr 2012. Miss Perdy is left and has some big pawprints to fill.
