She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Aww, this made me smile. He sure is handsome! It makes me wish I had done more pictures of Sammy. I love the shot of Fortis in the field with the purple flowers.

I cannot beilieve what a huge following of gaga girls you have big guy! Now there's some competition. Love the photo of Fortis in the bluebonnets - just goregous!
Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging. RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.

Holly joined the world of tripawds on 12/29/2009. She has a big little sister, Zuzu, who idolizes Holly and tries to make all of her toys into tripawds in Holly's honor. And she's enjoying life one hop at a time!

Mackenzie & Kami
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
So it's not quite the same to be a Guy Fan, but we're Buds, right, Fortis? I feel like we are....

Fortis, you are so darned lovable! Comet, thanks for this video. It was awesome!
Daisy, 12 years young, had left forelimb amp on 5/19/2010 due to osteosarcoma. She left her body behind and joined the other spirit tripawds on 7/16/2010.
So grateful for each day with her!
Lexi (Daisy's momma)
Of course were Buds Cemil. I bet the two of us would make quite the team. In fact, you have been my hero from the get go. That said, don't be messing with my women! 
Stud,
Fortis
Thanks Comet, now Fortis is going around the house humming the same two tunes over and over again. Like his head wasn't big enough already. Great, now he want my shades.

"On The Catwalk"........I'm too sexy for my love too sexy for my love!
"Sexy Back"..........Them other boys donno know how to act!
Honestly, you guys are the best. Thanks so much for the video Cometdog. I can't express enough how much this community has meant to Fortis and I. It's humbling!
Fortis and Dad Brett
Oooooh Fortis! That's the way to "get yo' sexy on!" Is there room on your doggie bed for two <3 ?
Hugs and Sloppy kisses,
Sadie
Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.

Either that or he's hitting the bottle again!
You are welcome! I'm sure more names will be added and hopefully I didn't miss anyone.
