All great!  I bought all three dogs Christmas bandana's.  My husband ordered a new Santa suit (he hands out gifts at the nursing home that I work). Going to try to grab a pic or two. You can bet that there will be a lot of bloopers and swearing lol. I solemnly swear that I will post.  Have never posted a pic on this site and feel kind of bad about it. Wish me luck!

Kathi I am sure that it will be chaos and goofiness. On a good day I have trouble keeping them all in check. They are exhausting. I love them all (Never a love like Jake), have a lot of laughs and snuggles.

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

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!

Well, it looks like Murphy knows when to be good.  The guys got to visit with Santa Paws and the elves this afternoon.  Santa and the elf on the left are our vets, and the elf on the right is one of their techs.

Kathi,

That picture is so cute, everyone looking forward. Do you get several takes? We don't have Santa Paws here anymore and it's sad. So nice it's your vet, must make your dogs more comfortable. And love the pipe.

Penny, this is one of two that I took myself.  The clinic will get the one they took to us in a few days.  The guys both love their doctors.  The Santa Paws event raises donations for a local charity.  We bring in canned goods, toys, etc in exchange for having the pictures taken. 

Kathi and Murphy

PS.   The clinic staff was so excited to get their Tripawds calendar from Gus and Murphy again this year.
