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 way-confused

Karen

p.s. it took me a second but Clare: 'OMC' big-grin

Tri-pug Maggie survived a 4.5 year mast cell cancer battle only to be lost to oral melanoma.

1999 to 2010

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. ย Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. ย Lung mets August 25, 2016.ย ย Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. ย  Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.ย ย 

Wherever they are, they are together.

Purrkins you are sooooo amazingly good at going after that butterfly ๐Ÿ˜ธย 

Me and Eurydice agree, who needs 3 legs anyway ?

Your video is just delightful, you made our day ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ“ฝ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ

Keep playing away Purrkins and sharing it all with us ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ’จ

Biiig tummy rubs and kisses flying your way and Mom's ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ˜ป

Eurydice 77kg/170lb Great Dane limping end of April 2016, amputation (right front leg/osteosarcoma) 4ย May 2016 6 courses of carboplatin followed by metronomic therapy, lung mets found 30ย Nov 2016. 3 courses of doxorubicin, PET scan 26 Jan 2017 showed more mets so stopped chemo. Holistic route April 2017. Lung X-ray 5 May 2017 showed several tennis ball size mets, started cortisone and diuretics. Miss Cow earned her XXL silver wings 12 June 2017, 13 months and 1 week after amputation and 6 1/2 months after lung mets, she was the goofiest dawg ever and is now happily flying from cloud to cloud woof woofing away :-)ย
