I just posted this on our blog (address in my signature below) with some pictures, but wanted to share our wishes with the broader Tripawds community!
-----------------------
Hello friends,
I just sent Happy New Year wishes to the three amazing Earth Angels who brought Cooper into our lives (Liz Marshall, Samantha Holton and Paige A.) and thought they were worth sharing here as well with all of you:
‘From us to you, may 2015 be filled with health, happiness, moments of awe and joy, people you love and, as embodied by our two pups below photographed yesterday in the winter sun: peace, contentment, rest, relaxation and the magical capacity to live in the present!
Oh, and if you were as good as Cooper was in 2014, perhaps Santa also left you a perfect gift.. Such as a stuffed racoon for a Coonhound :)!’
Or the perfect piece of wrapping paper (much better than the gift inside) for Cinta… And worry not, Colby got a stuffed squirrel but we unfortunately did not get a picture of it before it was… destroyed!
Hugs from Montreal and all of our best for 2015!
A., E., Cooper, Cinta & Colby

A very Happy New Year back to you and your wonderful pack!!
2014 was not a good year at all for me, nor many others here, but I also know, 2015 promises to be a better, and much happier year for us.......our good memories will always stay within our hearts, and our grieving will continue to diminish......another hour away, and all our 2014 sadness will be washed away......Ready for 2015, and new beginnings.......
Much Love to all.....
Bonnie & Angel Polly
And Happy New Year back atcha'! Stay warm up there in Canada!! Brrrrrr..........
Cozy hugs!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!
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!
Hello all,
Michelle, I just got caught up on your blog - what a beautiful dog Sassy was, I'm sure your heart is fuller for having loved and been loved by her.
Bonnie, every time I see Polly's picture in the scroll of pictures when I log into Tripawds she makes me smile. What a face, the expressio in her eyes. I ca only imagine how hard 2014 must have been. May 2015 be a bette and brighter year - it's angels like you that give everlasting love and care to our furry family members that are inspiring. You have an angel Polly looking after you.
Sally, I always love reading your posts! I tried finding your blog but perhaps you do not have one? Or I am too new to this to know how to find it if there is no link in the signature... I did see Hannah's pictures in the home page photo scoll, and of course her avatar. What a mug :)! We're crossing paws that you welcome a new member to your family in 2015!
Our very best wishes for this new year!
Alana and pack!

Alana and pack,
Thank you for your kind words......and yes, I have a very good feeling about 2015 !!
Love,
Bonnie & Angel Polly
Alana,
Thank you for the kind words. Sally doesn't have a blog but here is her first post about Happy Hannah and their journey (kind of a blog in the forums ) http://tripawds.....-decision/
It is a wonderful story about her & Hannah and all the support the gave them.
Hugs
Michelle & Angel Sassy

Happy 2015 from all of us here in snowy, cold Idaho.
Kathi, Garry, Murphy and Gus
PS. for those football fans among us.....GO BRONCOS
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!
Thanks Michelle for the link! I just read Hannah's story/first post!
Kathi, love reading in your signature that Murph has no idea he oly has three legs - amazing no how they adapt so much beter than we ever would?

Alana,
Just wanted to let you know that Sally has been approved to adopt a tripawd who looks like a distant relative of Cooper's. Here's the discussion thread: http://tripawds.....und-a-use/
Happy new year to you and your furry family.
Kerren and Mona
Kerren!!! Thank you for that! I had missed that forum! I just read through the whole thing and OMG, another Coonhound I think (Bluetick and possibly some Treeing Walker)! Cooper and I are in love with him :)!
And Cinta says 'meow' to Mona!
Hugs from Montreal!

Happy Hippy Hoppy New Year Everypawdy!
We too are glad to see 2014 behind us and look forward to many new bright, shiny days ahead. There's nothing like the promise of January 1. Thank you everyone for being here to make this community such a special corner of the universe, we are beyond grateful. There is no better way that I can think of to honor our Tripawd Heroes by passing along their life stories, lessons learned and inspawrational tales. You guys ROCK!
Kerren thanks for that scoop about Sally, hopping over there now then getting back to our family's brunch.
Have a great day folks! xoxo
