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
Oh, that's so wonderful! Thank you so much. Sadly, my Max M is no longer with us either - he left us a month ago. But I wasn't clear about that. If the + can be added sometime that's great, but if not, well, he'll always be with us, even if he's no longer here.
Proud mother of Max, an 11-year-old Border Collie mix who was sure he was a Real Boy.
Diagnosis of osteosarcoma of the left rear leg and lymphoma in February 2010.
That annoying leg was removed April 7, 2010 and was never missed.
Max left for the Rainbow Bridge on July 29, 2010 and is now running free. We love you!
The + has just been added, I should make that more clear too since that part hasn't been posted in a while...
If you leave a name, please indicate if they are here with us or not. If not, they will have a + added to the end of their name to signify that they haver crossed rainbow bridge. Thanks!

Oh my heavens! I just realized you are doing those names free hand! I thought it was a stencil! Goodness, you are so talented!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.

I tried to do the transfer technique I used for the front, but the words were too small... So I decided that free-handing to the best of my ability would have to do. And you can tell the names change every time I write them... But its been fun!

How wonderful, thank you for mentioning this to me. Please do add Tshuvah's name, and I have also lost Yesha and Tzav to cancer in the past 3 years. I would love to have their names added as well. Thank you!
Beth
Beth with my beloved Tshuvah, 10 year old "TaosDog". Provisional diagnosis osteosarcoma on 6/10/10, amputation of left foreleg same day, firm diagnosis of hemangiosarcoma 6/24/10. Set free on 9/9/10. Treasured forever.

I would be so honored to have Molly+ added to the t-shirt. Thank you! I am so glad I didn't miss the deadline!
-Heidi
Molly was diagnosed with Synovial Cell Sarcoma (grade 3 with hystiocytic markers) and had her front leg amputated on August 15th 2008. We had a wonderful two years with her until she passed at age 13.5 on August 29th 2010. As far as we could tell, her cancer never returned.
I know it's late, but Sadie and I would be so proud if you could add her name to your shirt. She will celebrate her 7 month ampuversary in about a week! I'm so proud of her!
Hugs and sloppy Sadie kisses,
Lisa and Sadie
Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.

DEADLINE FAST APPROACHING:
The deadline for having your name on the Tripawd Chloe shirt that will be FOR SALE SOON is TODAY AT 8am PST!!!
If any of your dogs have been diagnosed, are survivors or have passed away from cancer and if you would like Chloe and I to walk for them in the K9 Cancer Walk next month, please leave their name here!
Still room for names!!!! If you leave a name, please indicate if they are here with us or not. If not, they will have a + added to the end of their name to signify that they haver crossed rainbow bridge. Thanks!

PS. Even if you do not make the deadline today for the shirt that will be going on sale, that is OK because the original shirt (my custom shirt you see picts of on this forum) can still have names added! Plus you can always buy a shirt and then add your own dog's name to the back with everyone else! Leave a name!

It is a bit confusing, but there is room on my shirt I am doing by hand! The "deadline" was for a modified copy of my shirt which will be available for sale through the tripawd website. I am still collecting names though!!! Thanks, Don will be added!!

Dear Chloe's Mom,
You are a powerhouse, the last photo of the shirt posted here is beautiful and I can't wait to see the finished product. I will surely be buying one and proudly honoring the thrivers, survivors and angels qanad of course you and chloe as you make your walk.
I am touched that you thought to add the + to JD's name, I have been without her for just one week today and to see the shirt touched my heart.
You are great, thanks.
