OMG - Cosmo you are the cutest puppy in the world...and you couldn't have found a better family to love you. You do have some big shoes to fill but it looks like you're already filling them with your short fatty legs. We can't wait to hear more about your adventures. Are you sure you're not a polar bear in disguise???
Kami, Angel Mackenzie and Kobe
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
Cosmo, what a little fur ball you are to snuggle with! So so adorable! Love that name but looks like he might be trouble.
Congratulations on the new addition to the family. Very happy for you guys!
Pattie
Oh gosh! Thank you guys!
Pattie, I had you on my #1 list to ship to if he didn't work out! But I think it's all going to be fine! They play and play and play. We are still trying to get rid of the kennel cough which is now a snotty nose! And he is still recovering from him being "fixed".
I can tell he is going to be a mischievious little boy! Last night, daddy had some cereal at the kitchen table and shared a little milk with each one. A few minutes later, we could hear him whimpering but couldn't find him...WELL, he was sitting in the chair at the kitchen table looking down at the table waiting to be served! It was so cute!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Cosmo- you are one LUCKY pup!!!
Just be careful with the Rocket dog- he has spindly little legs compared to yours- don't hurt him!
Karen and the pugapalooza
Oh dear oh dear oh dear.... another monkey dog! Zuzu took one look at that picture and said "he looks kinda like me but with little legs". I think she is waiting by the front door for him to come running down the road. I've told her he'll be here any minute now.... that'll keep her out of my hair for long enough that I can post!
Cosmo, you are very cute - don't let the monkeydogs get to you! If you hear from Zuzu just ignore her!!! Your angel sister will be so proud of you if you can just keep away from those monkeydogs!
Hugs,
Holly (your angel sister's bff)
Holly joined the world of tripawds on 12/29/2009. She has a big little sister, Zuzu, who idolizes Holly and tries to make all of her toys into tripawds in Holly's honor. And she's enjoying life one hop at a time!

Can't say that I would have been disappointed to get that sweet pup in the mail but I know he is going to be happy right where he is at and get lots of love. Poor baby, hope his recovery is speedy.
That was a very cute story and I can just see Cosmo sitting at the table. I know that might not be a good habit to start but I think I would have caved and given him more milk! I look forward to seeing and hearing more about him in the future.
All the best,
Pattie
Cosmo the Cutie!
How fun you are going to be to have around. Pawrents forget the trials and tribulations of puppyhood way too fast!
Sooooo is is just me or is it possible to have a Tongue Twister going on in your head? When I read " monkeybaby bunny brother"
my brain got all messed up !!!
Enjoy each day together.
