Jilly - I think you are planning revenge on your mother for that last outfit, but you really are one stylin' diva!
Spirit Shooter was a Miniature Australian Shepherd who was diagnosed with a MCT and had a LF amp 1/28/13 at 13-1/2 years old.
Shooter crossed the Bridge on 8/28/13, his 7 month ampuversary and two weeks from his 14th birthday.
OMC!! Jill in her Birthday Suit! I'm laughing to the point of making snort in' noises!!
You look adorable in your cute little spring dress! And your pretty little feminine hair bow just tops it off to a tee! Heldi Klum, move over, there's a. new SPERMODEL in town nd her name is Jill!! She is already a legend in the annals of cat medical breakthroughs!! Now you can add Runway Model! Work it girl! Work it!!

Nighty Night, Salt and Happy Hannah
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!
Yay - happy ampuversary! Too bad we're not sharing the 12th since Bear's surgery finished around 9:30 last night.
I love that you put Jill in a birthday dress. That is too cute, but she does look like she wants some revenge! I used to dress up my cat Neptune years ago (before I had Barret to dress up and parade around). He endured it like a champ too.
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
Hoppy Ampuversary Jilly. You are really kicking Cancer's butt. Keep doing it girl. Sassy & I are sending all of our love & healing powers to you. Keep showing everyone what you have girl. Tell mom extra treats for the ampuversary & the dress.

Joan and Lily
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.
Salt,
No worries, took pics of Brudder for the blog post

Hoppy Ampuversary to the coolest cat I know! I can't believe it's been 6 months already. Wow! You're doing something very right, Erica. Keep on marching on Jill...beautiful Winter Warrior
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
Jill, in honor of your ampvuersary today, Sally and Happy Hannah have a present for you. Sally says:
"Happy Hannah found a cat willing to donate some whiskers to Jill!
Clearly they share some of the same DNA so they should be a perfect match.
Of course, whisker transplant is still experimental and it may involve kitty head transplant!"
