This post from Blue Dog Bakery was shared by WestVet Emergency and Specialist Hospital in Boise. Murphy did his PT there. I loved it. Now I need to get it on to the Facebook page. I think I have it figured out...hopefully.
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!
Love it......
A true sentiment of how we feel about our furbabies.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone from your Canadian cohort!
Linda and Tucker 
I love this, thank you Kathy.
And a very hoppy Thanksgiving to you too. There is so much to be thankful in the Tripawds Nation! Words can't even describe our gratitude for such an amazing community of people. Thanks for being one of 'em!

What a great message! Haven't been on much lately, but I wanted to say a sincere thank you to all who come here, out of the deepest love for your furry companions, and share your journeys, joy and sadness, and mostly share your hearts with so many. And especially to Rene and Jim, for making this beautiful legacy to Spirit Jerry possible.
Best wishes for a Happy hoppy Thanksgiving to all,

Happy Thanksgiving all!!
I am so thankful for this site (Jim & Rene) and the support and kindness it has offered to so many. To all the wonderful Tripawd members who help each other even during their own difficult time and to all our beautiful fur kids that have shown us what real strength and bravery is and how to face adversity with their joy for life - thank you.
Enjoy your day and all the others that follow!

Murphy's Dad has strange ideas about decorating for Thanksgiving. We are still thankful for him, though.

Happy (late) Thanksgiving everyone.
I was laying in bed on Thanksgiving morning, Barret draped over my chest with both my other dogs pressed against my sides and I thought to myself "This, this is what I am thankful for in this moment. I am thankful that I can be here and enjoy the happiness that my guys bring me each and every day. I thought about this community and how lost I would have been with out it and I am thankful for you too. Each and every one of you, new members and old."
Thank you all so very much. I hope you had a terrific holiday with your loved ones.
Heather and Barret
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
Now that sounds like a great way to spend the holiday!
