Grinning ear to ear over here! This is a great post to bring smiles to our faces. Now I'll have to find time to log on everyday just to see these pics. Sassy brought a tear to my eye. Jerry you wonderful ole spirit, I can feel you here. Penny and blink - are those the famous wiemeriners in all the calendars???? Jilly, the most photogenic kitty ever and shooter and his family! oh my! Those adorable little puggy wugs all snug in their beds. Handsome Murphy all surrounded by snow, beautiful addy looks like a movie star, Happy Hannah in reindeer antlers well that is just priceless. And that gunner as Tiny Tim is brilliant! awesome post! Have to go get some pics of my pack now.
WHOA!! Jist saw THE Tiny Tim Christmas Card!! Wonderful! Brilliant! WOOF! WOOF!
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!
Murphy and Gus went to see Santa Paws today. Every year the vets at our clinic sponsor a visit to Santa for their patients and friends. This event is a fundraiser for the local charity, Help Them to Hope. The only cost of a photo visit with Santa is to bring in a new toy, non-perishable food item, or new clothing to be donated to needy families in our area. Santa and the elves are all vets at the clinc.
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!
Yay Gus and Murphy. Good pups. They should be getting what is on their Christmas list.
Adelaide is a young tripawd Husky, from an injury. Her amp was on 10/1/12. She has 4 sisters, Aissa (a senior border collie/chow), Maggie May (a puppy Great Pyrenees), Mathilde and Morrigan and 1 baby brother, Bagheera. We are all watched over by our angel Brendol, who was dx with OSA 1/30/13, amp on 2/6/13, and left us on 8/20/13.
You can read their stories at http://adelaide.tripawds.com and http://brendol.tripawds.com
Wow, great picture. Gus and Murphy are so photogenic, they should go to Hollywood.
I giggle when I think about the people in my vets office dressing up....
But what a great thing to do! Good looking pups too.

I assume Blink is sitting on some type of box, or do you have a really short horse? 
.
Nice pictures, and it looks like Blink might have a stocking hanging by the fire in the first one!
