Sally- a few things on this post:
1. Most importantly- HAPPY 9 MONTHS HANNAH!!!
2. Good job loading the video- why load only once when you know we would replay it anyway
.
3. I think Obie could sleep in Hannah's bowl.
4. Have you thought about investing in a tripod (wow, it's hard to type that word), I got a little dizzy watching the vid .
I am so happy for you and Hannah- you two do wonders for this community.

HOPPY AMPUVERSARY HANNAH GIRLIE!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing!!! even though you didn't share your steak!!!
Christine.... with Franklin in her heart♥♥♥♥
Franklin, he was the Happiest Dog on Three Legs! Diagnosed 09/26/2012 with Osteosarcoma, amputated 12/4/2012. Had a wonderful 5 1/2 months painfree until he ran for the Bridge on 5/15/2013. Always in my heart, and always a guardian angel of my pack... You can follow his Tripawd Adventures, before and after, in my blog, Frank'n'Farter!
Oh, wow! What a great video! And what a polite girl, Hannah!
Congratulations on yet another milestone. Keep those coming. And Sally, there are now no excuses for not posting videos. LOL,
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!
PEPPER! Thanks! Thanks very much!! Talk about brightening our day......your pics and commentary are priceless!! Love "opening" your posts, especially when I know there will be a pic or video!
CHRISTINE! I'll work on gettng her to share the steak.....green beans maybe...but her steak?? NOT! Thanks Christine for always being here for us all! Grin ear to ear everytime I see Franklin n, Farter's banner up there vrinning ear to ear!
KAREN!! Tripod? Huh? Okay, I get how a rear leg amp. tripawd could hold the tablet...but how would a fron leg tripawd hold it?? Teeth maybe?
Seriously...do they make tripods that would hold a tablet? Yeah...I am serious, cuz that would be great! Thanks for all your well wishes and kind comments and for always being here for everyone!
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!

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.
Oh the lovely Miss Hannah!
What a delightful video.....love the tail wags, the patiently waiting for her treat and the way she cleaned the bowl right down to the smallest particle.
Happy 9 month ampuversary Hannah....and here's to many, many, many more!

And Sally I can't even begin to tell you how much joy and optimism you bring to this site. You also made me cry. Happy Thanksgiving!!
