YAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Ampuversary Hannah!
Tell mom to fill that bowl up with some COOKIES and maybe a little cake and ice cream too!
Congrats!!!
Barret was diagnosed with Hemangiopericytoma May 16, 2013. Front left leg/scapula/pectoral muscle was amputated on June 11, 2013 and we've never looked back. Follow our story on http://barret.t.....pawds.com/ and read my column on That Pet Blog

Way to go Hannah!!! I love ampuversaries! Here's hoping you have many many more and that you have wonderful dreams tonight of that kitty IN that bowl!

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...

Hahahhahaha! Love this! Oh, Sally and Hannah. You're quite a pair!
ACL tear in right hind leg 12/5/12 and scheduled ACL repair surgery 12/21/12. Pre-op xrays revealed osteosarcoma. Amputation 12/28/12. Chemo (carboplatin) started Jan 10, 2013 and ended on April 5, for a total of 5 doses. He handled carbo like a champ! No side effects. We started metronomic therapy at his third chemo and have been also doing some holistic treatments. He's a lively, playful 10 year old huskie-boarder collie and a very proud member of the Winter Warriors! Our love. Our funny little guy!
Bahahahaha! Love these pics! Can't stop laughing at everyone's great comments......love the signed "dinner/kitty" Sally. Such a nice change to not be able to catch my breathe from laughing instead of from fear. Thanks Sally and Happy Hannah! Just what we all needed!!! Keep em coming!
Ps.....run kitty, run!
