Oh E! Another grand day full of love and cuddles! How lucky are you! We hope you are enjoying every pampered minute of your travels! Sending big smooshy kisses from California!
Astronaut and Kat
So much to cover!! I'll be back but just wanted ro say a couple of things. Yiur Mom is doing a treatment plan that will help you stay healthy AND won't interfere with yiur travels!!! 🙂 Win/Win for you both!!
Nkw about this Therapy Dag thing! There is NO BETTER THERAPY SOG ON THE PLANET THAN YOU EURYDICE! 🙂 🙂 🙂 R U kiddin' me?? You were born to be a Therapy Dog and have been doing it non-stop every single day of this journey! I can guarantee that every single Soul you have met as a tripawd has that memory in their heart forever! And not only that, they have told NUMEROUS people all about their encounter with you and how much you touched their lives!! So you inspire people who have never even met you! 🙂
So all those elitist, rule oriented people who decide the rules of who should be a Therapy Dog can take their fancy "certificate" and STUFF IT!!! 🙂 🙂
Back later sweet girl! 🙂
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Awwww, that little pink girl has the greatest smile! And sweet, adorable Eurydice knows how to show her and mama that she is safe and gentle.
Maria and her lovely family are making Eurydice's papa so proud! Please, what is his name? I know he'll protect her from the law when they come calling because she disobeyed the sign. Teresa, you are living life to the fullest!
Another full day in Europe. "Oh, I think I'll just pop over to Italy for the day". Sweet dreams.
Many cuddles from Mona. She's mad at Eli because he chased her so he's in the dog house at the moment. They'll have a nap and all will be forgiven.
Cheers,
Kerren and Mona
The look on that little tot's face and her mom (?) is priceless! I can't wait to find out what this big surprise is going to be!
P.S. I'm super happy your Mom took that photo of you taking a pee! I don't want to embarrass you further, but may I post this in our Gallery? I know, you think I'm crazy. But almost every single person who finds out their dog is going to lose a leg wants to know "How will they go to the bathroom?" Your photo says it all!

I just had to go back and look at the no dog sign. I think you may have misinterpreted the sign Teresa, I think it said "No small dogs on a leash with four legs". Eurydice is not one of those! Everyone is safe and Jerry has his photo.
Kerren
Eurydice that sign clearly did not include you. You are not a dog you are an ambassador for love everywhere. You clearly have the "rank" to be able to go anywhere. Special privileges for you sweet girl! Ambassador Eurydice has a nice ring to it. Hugs and kisses!
Hey everybody 🐸
Thank you so much for the lovely posts 💌
Kat & Astro 🌸🚀
Yup 🐮 I am having a greeeeeat time with Mom and would soooo love to travel with your lovely goofy self and your Momma too 💨💨💨💨🚀🐶🐮💕
Sally 🌹
Mom has high hopes (within reason) this treatment will help but ... you know what ????
I AM ON HEAT 💥
Mom could not believe it, I had a cycle this Summer after lots of chemo which surprised Kelvin as the vast majority or dawgs become sterile after a couple of chemo courses but this take it to a new level 🏋🏼♀️
I've been on chemo non stop for NINE months so it is beyond surprising 💬
Thing is I cannot start Palladia until stop bleeding so we are loosing another week or so which, given the circumstances, isn't what Mom wanted at all 😐
Anyway ...
And as for your Therapy Dawg comment Mom was laughing out loud and so was I 😂😂😂
Kerren 🌺
You're right.
They're all adorable people, I am so lucky to have bumped into them 🐮💕
I know popping into Italy sounds glamorous alright but Mom asked me to tell you Monaco is just a few square km so Italy is literally 5 min away 🚴🏻♀️
Thank Mona for the cuddles 🐱 for me, I'm sure by now she is having that comfy nap with Eli 🐱💕🐱
As for the sign, yup, you have a point and I bet Mom would use it too if need be 😁
Jerry 🐺
Well, I would never have wanted anybody to watch me peeing 😳🚽 but Mom pointed out to me it is for a good cause so I have no arguments there 🙈
Linda 🌻
Oh, what a lovely thing to say 💖
Ambassador of love, moi 🐮 like that very much 👍🏼
And now let me tell you what BIG surprise Mom lined up for me 😍
