Fantastic! WOW! Did you do a good job!!! way cool! How'd you do that? Seriously?
I blew up a picture of Chloe from my computer, printed it out, traced it with pen on tracing paper, traced the back side with 4B pencil (really heavy graphite), then traced it again (pencil side down) onto the shirt. It was very light transfer so I had to free hand what didn't show up. I outlined the pencil with a fine tip sharpie then did a final coat with puff paint! And hopefully I am not copyright infringing (since I am not selling it) since I blew up the tripawd logo and transferred it onto the shirt. As for CHLOE, I had to free hand the font to match... It was super fun! Now I am working on the backside...

Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog
Wow - fantastic! I think you missed your calling for T-shirt designs! So cool! 
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
How generous of you to offer to include other tripawd family members. That was really an awesome thing for you to do. And the shirt is great, you really did a nice job.
Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging. RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.

What a great shirt! We'll be going to the walk too--looking forward to meeting you and seeing the T-shirt in person!
To those offering to sponsor...another thing you can do is join Team Tripawds as a virtual walker.

Ok so because I am a perfectionist, the back of the shirt has been a tedious process. I had to free hand the names because I couldn't transfer the printed text, so forgive the squiggly names! Anyway, it is looking pretty good so far if I do say so myself…
FYI the + after some names means they have crossed rainbow bridge… When the time comes to finish the shirt there will be a legend near the bottom really close to where Monkeybutt's name will go!
Thanks for all the compliments on the shirt! Really I am doing it all by hand and with love, so I wanted to share this with you all as I am making it!!
PS kbryant: I do pride myself on having an artistic flair…whether it is drawing, painting, or doing crafts like this!!
PPS. I did put the + next to ruthie and rugby and put magic's name up (not shown in picture above)

OMG! That is fantastic again!!!! You need to market this tshirt I think!!! 
Brings tears to my eyes to see Maggie's name on there. How incredibly sweet of you!
Tracy, Maggie's Mom
Maggie was amputated for soft tissue sarcoma 10-20-09
Maggie lost her battle with kidney disease on 8-24-13
Hi Chloe's Mom! Could Roxy be included also? It's a wonderful thing you're doing for those of us who can't be there.
Thank you!
Leslie & Roxy
this is too moving!!! i agree with maggie's mom, you need to find a way to duplicate the shirt once it's complete, we'd definitely buy one!!!! blessings to you for all your work!
charon & gayle
Life is good, so very, very good!!! Gayle enjoyed each and every moment of each and every wonderful day (naps included). She left this world December 12, 2011 – off on a new adventure.
Love Never Ends
Wow – Just luv the shirt!! We hope to join the walk, too, and will get to see the shirt and meet Chloe in 'person'!

Dx Osteosarcoma 3/31/10. Amputation 7/21/10. Honey put up a valiant fight and lost her battle 9/22/10. Missing her and treasuring 9 years with our Honeygurl.
What a wonder idea! Can you also add Skyler? We will certainly make a donation to Team Tripawds.
On another note, is there anyone from Atlanta, GA area?
As long as people keep posting names, I will keep adding them to the shirt!! There is PLENTY of room for everyone!! Someone asked about giving to the tripawd team (I didn't know there was one otherwise I wouldn't have registered as an individual) or choosing the "Sit and Stay" option (can give to the K9 walk,but stay at home if you are too far away). I put the links below for you to check out:
Team Tripawds (just click support team tripawds to give!): http://support......fr_id=1100
Sit and Stay: http://support......8;sid=1001
I will add Roxy and Skyler to the shirt today!!

If you navigate to the Team Tripawds page
http://support......fr_id=1100
there are two options: Support the team, or Join the team (you have to look hard, but it's there).
You can join the team as a "sit and stay" virtual walker. That's what I meant.
