OMC!!!!!! This is just superb. He really doesn't need four legs, does he! Wow. Love his expression when he swipes for it. Like 'This time I'm having you, this time I AM!' Love the music too. Poppet Purrkins, how we love you!
Purring,
Meg, Clare and Elsie Pie xxx

He looks so great, you can't really tell he is a tri-kitty from the over head shot.
I'm pretty sure that toy would scare Elly my brave, brave puggle

p.s. it took me a second but Clare: 'OMC' 
Tri-pug Maggie survived a 4.5 year mast cell cancer battle only to be lost to oral melanoma.

Thank you Karen!
Best I can do with my phone camera. 😉
I caught the OMC too Clare😉 LOVE it!
If you didn't know he only had 3 legs, you probably wouldn't even notice!
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016. Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. Lung mets August 25, 2016. Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.
Purrkins you are sooooo amazingly good at going after that butterfly 😸
Me and Eurydice agree, who needs 3 legs anyway ?
Your video is just delightful, you made our day 👍🏼📽👏🏽
