Gerry's already been working on designs.  This is his latest modified squeaky toy:

Gerry feels more toys out there should look like him.  Though, frankly, there's not as much resemblance as he seems to think – his pup isn't even a rear-legger:

But he sure does love his little tripawd buddy:

Gerry has been a tripawd since 12/16/2009.

He was a shelter dog with a mysterious past and an irrepairable knee injury.

What, 40+ Tripawds Teddy Bears isn't enough?

And let's not forget Gerry's favorite pillow!

My bad!  I forgot about the teddy bear.  But Gerry says that one of those limbs on that bear has got to go!

And pillows don't count.  They don't have limbs.  Gerry does looooove his pillow.

Gerry has been a tripawd since 12/16/2009.

He was a shelter dog with a mysterious past and an irrepairable knee injury.

In fact, Gerry really really loves his Captain Jack pillow!  I do not exaggerate.  I don't think I shared this pic yet, cause I think I was hoping to get one like it where you could actually tell which pillow it was, but he has it turned around in this one:

Awwww, Gerry, you look so cute with your tripawd toy and your special pillow.

We have a friend we see at the dog beach. She carries her keys and whatnot in this little stuffed animal/purse thing that looks like a zebra. Abby ran up to her one day, chomped the right front leg off the zebra-purse - the same leg Abby is missing - and then kept happily on her way. So, now our friend has a special Tripawd zebra-purse!

So Abby could not be more on board with you, Gerry. More toys should look like Tripawds!
Jackie, Abby's mom

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!

Cadence took it a little too far on trying to make toys look like her. She had a toy monkey with arms and legs and now it has no arms and no legs. LOL

Cadence Faye: Born 10/30/04, stepped into our hearts 12/23/2004. Rear leg tumor found 7/24/11 by mom and dad, Xray on 7/25/11, Osteosarcoma suspected 7/26/11, amputation 7/29/11, Carboplatin started 8/23. Met free so far!

Oh yeah - that reminds me .... before she completely annihilated him, Abby turned her Barney into a tripawd:
