Happy Thanksgiving everyone. One of the things I added to my "thankful for" list this year was finding this site and for the loving support all of you have given to Sketchie and me as we have/and are moving through the bittersweet journey of dealing with cancer, surgery and recovery. Without everyone here, this would be a much lonelier journey.

I forgot to add in my post I am very thankful this year that Merry Myrtle and Frankie made it home safe & sound to our wonderful dear Sally. Without her being our cheerleader many of us would have given up. I am thankful we could make her holiday a little happier this year.
I love you my friend

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
We are truly thankful for all of you!
And for all of the extra time we have so far gotten with our sweet Murphy <3

Murphy had his right front leg amputated due to histiocytic sarcoma at 7 years old. He survived 4 years, 2 months & 1 week, only to be taken by hemangiosarcoma at 11 1/2 years 6/12/17

I understood it was a tradition to dress dogs up as turkeys or pilgrims for American Thanksgiving. So, where are the photos?
Enjoy your day and time with friends and family.

Happy Thanksgiving from Idaho, too. We are so thankful for this family of special people and their even more special fur kids.

PS. I don't know about dressing up for Thanksgiving, but Ollie may be giving us a rerun on the No Hats theme for Christmas. He absolutely refused to let us try on his antlers.
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!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING (a day late) from Nashville!
I, too, am very thankful for each and every one of you. I can't imagine getting through Harmony's "adventure" without you.

Harmony became a Tripawd on 10/21/14 (MCT). She left us way too soon on 11/1/14.

Here's a picture of, of course, Merry Myrtle and Frankie happilw snoozing away. Sooo grateful to be able to see this agai ! So grateful!
Michelle, I caught Frankie saying his "prayer of gratitude" yesterday. He was saying how grateful he was to you and ALL the Tripawd family who helped me find them!
And to Jerseyboy and all the pups at the Bridge...we are so thankful you shared time with us here on earth......never forgotten.
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!
Oh my, Frankie. In addition to being an intrepid adventurer, you are also a yoga master! I have never seen a better depiction of "downward facing dog"!

I'm a day late but I want to wish everypawdy here a Happy Thanksgiving too. So grateful for all your love and support on this journey. Kim sure hope your Mom is feeling better! Love seeing everybody's beautiful pictures and someday I will figure out how to do that! I'm pretty sure on Wednesday my hubby and I are meeting up with Paula and her hubby John for a nice relaxing dinner out and to celebrate her Nitros journey and our Max. Life is good!

We're several days late BUT we definitely wanted to send our very best for Thanksgiving and hope everyone knows how grateful we are for this site and ALL of you that are reading this!
Much love,

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
