Trouble was diagnosed, had a consult, and had her amputation. That was Monday - Wednesday that week, but today is her actually ampuversary date. We began our 27 1/2 month tripawd journey three years ago today. Within a few weeks Cherry, Tika, Max, Trouble, and Nova became known as the November 5. There was an alliance, a friendship, a bond as the five heroes made their journeys. Today the five are in my mind and in my heart right along with Trouble. What a true inspiration the group was. And Nova remains today, three years later, cancer free. What an awe inspiring story for those who are just beginning their journey.

Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging. RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul.  Run free at Rainbow Bridge.
The November Five - Spirits Max, Cherry, Tika, Trouble & Nova. 11/2008 - 3/2013 An era ends as Queen Nova crossed the Bridge.

Even though she's been gone for many months, Trouble is such a huge part of both Tripawds and of you, Shanna, that she'll always be here. Every time I see her smiling face, I can't help but feel that she's out there somewhere, keeping an eye on us, and especially, watching over and loving you.

I'm late as usual these days, but I love Trouble's story. She was beautiful, loved and special. I wish I'd been able to meet her. Instead, I get to know you, Shanna, and I know Trouble was special because of your contribution to her life.

I'm late too! Sorry!

This time of year always makes me miss loved ones that are no longer here but whom I hold close in my heart! I understand that Trouble is very much a part of your heart! She is missed but we are... oh so glad that you are still here to share her story and Tripawds with us.

So...we will remember her and her friends today with a "shout out" to heaven and some left over turkey!
