3 paws = 3 penniesyou betcha... that was Shelby..
make you smile... doesn't it?
Christine... with Franklin in her heart♥
OMG - YES~!!!! I wish I had thought of that! That does make perfect sense. Shelby was always creative! What a silly girl!
And yes, it did turn my frown upside down yesterday... Shelby knew I needed her and she came to me. This morning on my run, I saw a dime (buried in the sand) ... I thought it was a penny but nope, a ratty old dime. Leave it to my girl to always be a high-roller even in her after life. Thank you everyone ... I do feel her spirit and it is her spirit that pushes me forward !!!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
Oh, Alison, for 3 days straight, I found dimes! In the weirdest places. Enough of them for me to take notice. I thought maybe he would start leaving dollar bills. Then I remembered that he would eat those.
Another non food thing that he liked. I love the 3 paws, 3 pennies! So like Shelby. Keep looking, she is there. Love from, Lori and Ty
TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.
I have an Angel dog necklace also. Rene does do excellent work. I have even slept in mine some. There were just some nights that I simply needed it near my heart.

Alison,
I love the framed pictures and paw print!
Since I hung up the Mag Tag I have added things to it occasionally, things that were Mag's or things that remind me of her. And there are a couple necklaces I wear sometimes, and I take her Tripwads bandanna to Tripawd meet-ups.
Since it changes from time to time it is not static, it sort of makes it feel alive in a sense.
I hope each day gets at least a little better.
