re is 2012, right after Maggie's surgery, 2011 and pre-Blink 2009 (not sure what happened to 2010). Have not taken 2013 yet but will post when I get it. It's strange having one dog, as you can see we are a multi dog family. OK let's get those photos in, make Sally smile.

Jack does NOT look very merry! I'll have Murphy's Christmas video as soon as I get to the PC to post.

Kathi and Murphy

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!

Erica,

I know I was lucky to get them on there. Maybe Rene can blow them up. Your pictures are great. I can't believe what you can get those cats to do. Do you use catnip?

Here is Murphy's Christmas video.  Do you smell reindeer farts?  I couldn't make Youtube load it, so had to use the link in Photobucket.  Help, Erica!

I don't have any Christmas pics of tripawd Daisy, but here is one of quad-cat Maybelle (aka Butterball).  I will try to get a pic of Daisy when I get my tree up.  I'm kind of late this year getting all the stuff out.

Oh yeah, Butterball and Jack! Identical twins!

Jerry is just grinning ear to ear in all his Christmas glory!

Murphy.....one fun guy...alloflife is a big toy to you!

Wyatt, a little too much Christmas cheer can make a pup pass out!

Sassy, the best present anyone could ever find under their tree!

PENNY..BLINK..AND MSGGIE!! GREAT IDEA!! GREAT TREAURED PHOTOS! Just beautiful..so much love!

I showed Happy Hannah the pictures and told her I needed to start taking pictures....she's still sobbing hysterically and trying to hide behind the sofa!
But I'm using deer poop as a motivator and look what happened
