Happy Ampuversary Zeus! (It just happens to coincide with my 8 month ampuversary). May you have many many more of them.

Magnum: 30th May 2002 to 5th May 2012. Lost her back left leg to osteosarcoma on 5th Sep 2011. Lung mets found on 20th Mar 2012 but it was bone mets in the hip that ended her brave battle. Magnum's motto - "Dream as if you'll live for ever, live as if you'll die today" (James Dean). Loyal, loving, courageous and spirited to the end. My beloved heart dog, see her memoirs from Rainbow Bridge ...... http://princess.....pawds.com/

I wrote a song in honor of your ampuversary. It goes like this:
♫ There once was a lipless dog named Zeus....who had a big head like a Moose
...and a even large caboose. ♫
♫ He is so afraid of the monkeydogs that he is always wanting a truce.
So the monkeydogs tell him this.......♫
Chorus:
♫ No way!.....Zeus the Moose, No way! No way! No way! Monkeydogs are cool. ♫
♫ Monkeydogs are cool. No way! No Way! No truce for Zeus the Moose. ♫
♫ Monkeydogs are cool. Monkeydogs are cool. Monkeydogs are super cool. ♫
NO NO NO. You need to learn to read! It goes:
There once was a fearless dog named Zeus ..... a Monkey Butt-Head called him a Moose
.... but Zeus' top lip was really loose.
So he pulled it up to bear his fangs, dashing Butt-Head's plea for a truce
And Zeusy told them this.....
Chorus:
Go away!... Monkey-Butt Head, No way! No Way! No Way! Monkeydogs go jump in a pool!
And everyone else, thank you for the NICE words! Mom finally admitted that SHE is the one that likes the Monkeydogs so much - not MEEEEE!
Zeus
Zeus was a Husky mix diagnosed with Osteosarcoma at age 11. A visible lung met and suspicious spot on his liver meant a poor prognosis-six weeks was our vet's best guess. We decided to fight for our boy and his right front leg was amputated on 12/1/11. We did six rounds of chemo, changed his diet and spoiled him completely rotten. We were blessed with 10 great months after diagnosis. Against the odds, the lung met remained a single met and grew very little over those months. A wonderful furbaby with the most gentle spirit, he fought with a strength that we never imagined he possessed. We have no regrets...

I totally forgot to wish you a Happy Ampuvesary Zeus! Happy Ampuvesary!
P.S.
I'm not even getting in the middle of the song writing skills! ....I can only shake my head! But between you and me Zeus, I think your song is better.
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.
So wonderful!! My beautiful greyhound, Lily, will celebrate 5 months on May 16th:)
Our beautiful Lily was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her front leg on 12/14/11 at age 8 and had amp on 12/16/11. She completed 5 rounds of carbo. She was so brave and kicked cancer's butt daily! She lived life fully for 4 years, 3 months, and 15 days after her amp. My angel is a warrior princess. I miss her so much.
Happy 5 Month Ampuversary Zeus!!! Sending lots of positive thoughts and prayers for many many many more ampuversaries and celebrations!!!
