I just wanted everypawdy to know that today is a national holladay here at Tripawd's!Ā (Get it?) HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of the sweetest, kindest, most generous, selfless, caring, un-selfish, best tavlet typist ever!!!
Sally (aka Benny55) has a birthday today! Wishing you all the best this new year has to offer. The amount of time you spend supporting, cheering, grieving, informing, the members here is beyond measure! You are a true angel on this earth, and most of us wouldn't be where we are today if not for you words and compassion. I love you to the moon and back!
Bravo! Take a bow! Have enormous amounts of cake and ice cream on your special day - no one deserves it as much as you!Ā 
Paula, Warrior Angel Nitro and the 3 Terrorists
Nitro 11 1/2 Ā yr old Doberman; right front amp June 2014. Had 6 doses carboplatin, followed by metronomic therapy. Rocked it on 3 legs for over 3 years! My Warrior beat cancer, but couldn't beat old age. He crossed the Bridge peacefully on July 25, 2017, with dignity and on his terms. Ā Follow his blog entitled "Doberman's journey"

WOO-HOO! Happiest of birthdays to the Rock Star of all Rock Stars!
I second all that Paula had to say! (having little articulation myself) and I hate to think where I'd be without you and the other Tripawdians. But mostly you (just don't tell anybody else!)Ā Ā
and I will be making note of this most auspicious day for future remembrances!
The video link isn't working which has me truly bummed - I will check back later in hopes for a technological miracle.Ā
So much love and hugs to you!!
