And then we joined Anne for a dog lesson with Indy and Jessica, two gorgeous Australian Shepherds
I have to confess for a moment I felt sorry for myself (which doesn't happen very often) as I am aware I cannot be part of this anymore.
Mom says she doesn't want to put me through the strain of jumping, sitting, lying down etc as she wants to keep my legs safe at all times ...
I know I could do it all, albeit not as graciously as before, but I respect Mom's decisions, so .....

Holistic route April 2017. Lung X-ray 5 May 2017 showed several tennis ball size mets, started cortisone and diuretics. Miss Cow earned her XXL silver wings 12 June 2017, 13 months and 1 week after amputation and 6 1/2 months after lung mets, she was the goofiest dawg ever and is now happily flying from cloud to cloud woof woofing away :-)

My pawty was soooooooooo much fun Mom for once didn't pester me too much to take pictures and videos !
There were many 2 leg friends of Mom and also my two 4 legged friends, Mom said I couldn't have more than 2 other dawgs as the flat she rented is quite small ... but I did have lots of fun all the same !
My day ended with me cuddling with Mom, our hearts in unison and love all around, I can't wait for my 7th ampuversary!
See ???
This is the other thing with us, tripawds, we get to have a big pawty very month !!!

Hey there 💜💙💚
Summer you are a real sweetheart 💝
I, too, would so love to have our huge dawgs (plus your mini dawg) together on this adventure, it would be such a pawty in itself every day🐾🎉🐶💕
Sally you are a sugar pie 💖
So love to share these moments with you albeit via the web 💻 what a great invention, can you believe if we were still reduced to send pigeons with messages attached to their legs 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊 ?
And, my dear, dear friend it is Eurydice's sixth ampuversary 🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯 we've come this far 👍🏼
Donna you are as sweet as honey 🍯
Eurydice is having a great time and we both think about you all very, very often and told everybody about Tripawds 📡🎙📢
Sending you all lots and lots and lots of hugs and cuddles all around 💞💞💞💞😘😘🐾🐶

Eurydice!! Are you making sure Loic has no more children?! 
She sure gets bouncy when excited and happy. I love how she wants to play with the little dogs and knows her size and is so gentle.
Awww, Eurydice, I'm so sorry that you can't jump anymore but you have replaced it with bouncing that is just as much fun.
Enjoy your time with your lovely extended family and pets.
Kerren and Tripawd Kitty Mona
Hey Kerren 💘
I think Loic and Eurydice's video is the funniest so far, he was hilarious protecting his "bonbons", as he calls them 😂😂😂
She may not jump as she used to, but as you say this is the new normal and she is happy with what she can do 👍🏼
We were practising a few lessons at Anne's agility field on our own today and I got her to walk beside me heeling etc just for a little while, she was ecstatic to do the exercises 💞🐶 and is still perfect 👌🏽
Sending much, much love and cuddles to your sweet kitties 💕💕💞💞💞😘😘🐾😻😻
