Today Atlas is 8 years young. Daddy couldn't be here today so we decided late last night to give him his cake. Poor boy was sound asleep and we woke him up singing and bringing food. He was all....what...oh cake, ok, but can I go back to sleep now. We used Roxie's peanut butter apple cake recipe and it was a big hit!
Happy 8th Birthday Atlas. Thank you for sharing such a joyous occasion with us.
Yay. loved the video They are like give me more why did you stop

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ATLAS! Love the video! I love that you had to tell the other doggy (sorry don't know his name!) "no no, Atlas gets the first bite!"
Birthday's are so important now huh? Way to go big guy you are truly kicking butt! Jill gets EXTRA EXTRA treats today now!!!!

Happy Birthday Atlas!
Wow- Sophie is so patient! What well trained dogs- or was it because they just woke up 
.
You know Patricia- Maggie's amp happened when she was about 7.5 years old, with her prognosis I really didn't expect her to make her 8th birthday- so I know how precious this day is for you and your family! I hope Atlas has a few more birthdays, but no matter what I know you are making each day count.

Adelaide is a young tripawd Husky, from an injury. Her amp was on 10/1/12. She has 4 sisters, Aissa (a senior border collie/chow), Maggie May (a puppy Great Pyrenees), Mathilde and Morrigan and 1 baby brother, Bagheera. We are all watched over by our angel Brendol, who was dx with OSA 1/30/13, amp on 2/6/13, and left us on 8/20/13.

Hoppy, hoppy birthday, Atlas. And so gentlemanly with the cake!
Kathi and Murphy
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!
Oh gosh! What a day for hapy tears....and they are rolling down on this one!!
Talk about making his own "statistics"......way to go Atlas!!
Sophie! You are soooooo sweet! Clearly they woke you up too, as you came prancing across with your blanki still snuggling your butt! You are a very, very well behaved dog. You showed a lot of restraint not jumping onto that cake!!
This is just wonderful! I'm absolutely estatic for you!
Thank you so much for sharing such a GLORIOUS BIRTHDAY!!
Sendingyou and allyour pack so much love!

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!
my computer is flipping out today. Finally got the pic of the cake! LOL!
Eight? Are you kidding? OH MY DOG Atlas, you look SO young! WOOHOO!
Can I just say one thing?
You are truly one of a kind, the coolest, smartest, most handsomest, amazing, agile and adorable Tripawd!
OK that was more than one thing. But I mean that with all my heart. To reach the wonderful age of eight after all that you've been through is a remarkable feat, one that shines a beacon of hope throughout the Tripawds Nation!
Extra hoppy dances and treats for everypawdy!
And that cake looks SO GOOD! I love how Roxy's cake recipe continues to spread joy.
