Too cute!  And I think Eurydice is becoming a bit of a camera hog!

Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016.  Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016.  Lung mets August 25, 2016.  Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016.   Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.  

Wherever they are, they are together.

Sorry because of a long video with Eurydice? Never be sorry for that!

The scenery is spectacular! And everyone who meets her has a smile on their face, they all look so relaxed and joyful, exactly the way we should all strive to live our lives. Eurydice is touching the human race and making all of us better people. She is pure magic!

Just catching up, what a treat to find lots more glorious photos heartheartheart

So many favourites. That one of Eurydice on the sofa with your parents is just wonderful. I thought you were joking about her being the size of a cow, but... and SO beautiful. I love her flopping down on the walks as well. She has such a fabulously expressive face.

Can't watch the videos at the moment as I'm on a train, but that will be a treat for when I get home. I shall watch them with my girls.

So... are we going to meet Eurydice's canine family too? This is just the best trip ever...

Lots of love to you both, and to all your loved onesheart

Lots of selfies going on, Eurydice's message is being spread around the world thanks to lots of other people's Facebook accountsheart

I am so proud and happy my girl is showing everybody how life can be fun and beautiful even without a leg and suffering from cancer  

I would rather say "fighting" or "living with" cancer! Because she most definitely is a fighter and showing the WORLD that nothing can slow down a three legged dog! Especially a super tall one! This journey brings me SO much joy and you are most definitely getting the word out about how amazing dogs are!!! heart

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

 Wow! Just wow! Thank you for pointing me to this forum. It gives me so much hope and is so inspiring.

I have two goldens one almost 12 and Rosie who just turned seven. My older one is almost 4 years out  from lymphoma treatment and is doing great. I plan on retiring in two years and have always said that Rosie is my travel dog and that we will travel the world together.

Your forum and stories and videos and pictures gives me hope and really made me smile and cry a little bit too,happy tears though.  

 Everywhere we go people love to meet my dogs, and seeing how your travels are going I have no reason to believe that it won't continue and that Rosie and I will be traveling the world together. Thank you so much for sharing! 

Braden, Rosie and Pack Mama Kellye❤️❤️❤️
