Wow a lot has changed in 8 months. I can't believe 8 months ago Sassy was still here and these 2 little ones were just being born on 08/19/13. I have had them 6 months crazy girls that they are. We completed beginner obedience training and are going to be in week 3 of intermediate training. Planning on Therapy dogs maybe with both but definitely with Snickers. They are definitely getting Canine good Citizen titles on them. So that is our plan.
Here they are the birthday girls

Awww! Love those Rottie faces.
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!
Rotties are so cute as babies!!! Happy birthday(s)!!!!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
Good Citizens indeed!! Therapy Dogs...you betcha'! They don't need "no stinkin' certification"....they've been your "therapy " from Sassy for eight months now!!
Bosch probably is teaching them obedience "doggy-style"...Grrrrr.....Woof...
FUN, FUN PICTURES! Thank you for posting them!
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLS!!
Sassy and Happy Hannah baked you a cake...but ate it before they could pack it up and send it!
Much love Michelle!
Sally and Happy Hannah
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!
you are right Sally Bosch is teaching them to behave LOL. Yes, they have been my therapy and have helped. I always said when the time is right people will know. Don't let anyone push you into a dog that you aren't ready for. 🙂 Thanks everyone for the great comments.

Oh my, those pics made me smile. I love the "pile o' rotties" 
They look like they're arguing over who gets to go first.

Michelle, They are so adorable!!! Happy Birthday to the girls

Joan and Lily
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.
