I know exactly what Mom was thinking about during the crossing ...
She was thinking about our friends (old and new) and their touching messages, special gifts and the amazing way some changed their schedules to meet us 
This is a very special gift Angelique gave Mom when we last met at the forest ...
It's the Little Kisses Book
Eurydice 77kg/170lb Great Dane limping end of April 2016, amputation (right front leg/osteosarcoma) 4 May 2016 6 courses of carboplatin followed by metronomic therapy, lung mets found 30 Nov 2016. 3 courses of doxorubicin, PET scan 26 Jan 2017 showed more mets so stopped chemo. 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 :-)
And this is the dedicatory ...
(hopefully translated well enough ...)
"This book is a reminder of what brought us together in the first place = our love for dogs! (and animals in general)
So that there is nothing in our hearts but the joy they gave us and the comfort of knowing how lucky we were to be able to share a little bit of our lives with them"

Joy, oh joy
Andre called us to say he finished Eurydice's paw print 
Mom was ECSTATIC !!!
She jumped up and down, laughing out loud and everybody else in the shuttle thought she was mad ...

After this huge burst of laughter and pure joy Mom settled down a bit ...
We still had a little while to go before we emerged in the UK ...
Mom was thinking about our friends and looking at pictures and then she came across this absolutely wonderful video Miguel, the policeman, sent her a couple of days ago ...
She is not publishing it because it is written in Portuguese but she will yet attempt to translate it as accurately as possible ...
No wonder Mommy Teresa and Miguel talked about poetry ...
"There are people in our lives who make us happy simply because they crossed our path totally by chance ...
Some walk alongside us for many moons whilst others we only get to meet ever so briefly between one step and the next ...
We call all of them friends but there are many types of friends ...
Fate brings new friends to us, friends we didn't know would cross our path ...
We call a lot of these "heart friends" as they are kind and truthful ...
So we keep the memories of the wonderful moments we had when they crossed our paths ...
Each person is unique and always leaves a little bit of them with us and takes a little bit of us with them ...
I wish you, my new friend who crossed my path and left a little bit of yourself with me, a life full of joy and many new friends "
How about THAT for a cop ???
Me and Eurydice are totally in love with Miguel and his family

Oh gosh!! Between that beautiful book of love and kisses with the lovely dedicatory Angelique wrote and the most WONDERFUL pawprint...I'm a pile of mush over here!! 🙂
Such an extraordinary sacred treasure! A TRUE SACRED TREASURE! That magnificent paw has traveled, and continues to travel, some of the most scenic places in the land! 🙂
And Eurydice's paw has left everlasting pawprints in all the hearts she has touched, and continues to touch! 🙂
For comparison, when you get a moment can you place that print against something that will give us a size comparison?
Soooo happy you jave this! He did such a good job....even her name is done with perfection!
It is soooooo much fun being on this journey with you and Eurydice!! The places you are taking us are places most of us would never jave a chance to see. And ro meet so many of your friends and family....to meet "strangers" who are all now part of Eurydice's Tripawd family jere....it's just such an extraordinary adventure!!

Oh gosh!! I just read what the Cop wrote.......talk about speaking the language of the Soul!!! I think that is one of the most beautiful expressions of what a "heart friend" is So beautifully expressed ain d truly from the heart

Hi, just checking in. Been a while since we have seen a new adventure photo, and hoping everything is ok.
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.
Likewise! We love that girl!

Shhhh.....secret.......a little birdie told me that Eurydice and Teresa are resting up after their whirlwind "Tour of Love and Cuddles"! They're taking some time to regroup, rest up and plan for some more upcoming trips!
Even ROCK STARS have to have some private time away from the glare of cameras and adoring fans constantly wanting pawographs, selfies with her, and kisses from her!!
Stay tuned!! Another "Tour of Love of Cuddles" is coming soon!

I wondered too, glad to here they are resting up and regrouping for there next trip !
Look forward to seeing the next great adventure !Tour of Love & Cuddles😍
Hi everybody
Guilty as charged for not having been on tripawds for a while 
Eurydice had her PET scan just before her third doxo treatment was due and it wasn't good news so I, the human, have been quite sad and just concentrating in giving my girl a good time ...
In response to these news I am taking Eurydice on more travels in a few days.
We are going to the South of France, Monaco and Italy.
I am told by the experts time is ticking fast so I want to do a zillion things with her right now.
It is a wonderful celebratory day today ~ her NINE month ampuversary!!! ~ I'll be publishing a separate post with photos and videos.
Sending you all and your fluffies an avalanche of kisses and a trillion cuddles
So, here's what she's been up to lately ...
