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 Birthday Atlas!

Wow- Sophie is so patient! What well trained dogs- or was it because they just woke up big-grin.

 

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.

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!

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.
