Wow, Hard to believe today is such a big milestone for Sassy & I. 6 months ago I was sitting here at home worried sick if she would be ok. She has proved people wrong time & time again. Now fighting lung mets we are still proving them wrong. Keep fighting my sweet Sugar Bear.
So we decided that it was time for a little dress up but the tutu's wouldn't fit and I wasn't going to buy a really expensive one so we decided a hula skirt & tiara would work. Although as you can see she is less than thrilled with the Tiara but put up with it.
Sassy is a proud member of the Winter Warriors. Live long, & strong Winter Warriors.

Yay for Sassy Girl! Hoppy Ampuversary! She's looks very regal (and tolerant) in that tiara! Both of you are an inspiration. Keep up the good fight winter warrior Sassy. 
Liberty (Libby) was diagnosed with OSA on 1-22-13. Right front amputation on 1-31-13. No IV Chemo. Metronomic Therapy started 2-19-13 along with supplements and some home cooking. Lungs clear until 1-06-14. She's still her happy, hoppy, bossy self. Living the dog life to the fullest and a proud Winter Warrior. :) RIP my Libby 4-21-03 to 3-19-14
Way to go Sassy!! Happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy ampuversary.
Keep showing cancer (and the tiara bearer) who is boss

Michelle and Sassy,
I cant believe that it has been 6 months already for you. I think about the both of you everyday. Even though I haven't been posting as much, I keep up with your blog. Im so happy that Sassy is showing cancer where to go. I feel in my heart, that if anyone can beat this, Sassy can.
Sassy keep up the fight. Here's to many more years of kicking cancer's butt.
