Hey everyone- long time, no see! I really miss you all, you're never far from my mind. I've been so ridiculously busy, it's kind of insane! If it weren't for coming home to my fur kids each night I'm not sure how I'd survive!

I've been emailing with Rene and I'll be representing tripawds at a local pet expo called Proud Pet Day in May. I'll have a banner and tribute leash, but I wanted some photos of my tripawd furiends (past and present). I was going to make a banner but then I decided it would be fun to put together a photo album that could travel with the leash.

So, I am asking that all of you choose your favorite photo of your tripawd or honorary tripawd and either attach it in this thread, send a link to the photo or email it to me at hlcrotsley@gmail.com before the 20th of April.

Please spread the word! I want to include as many photos as possible to show the world it's better to hop on 3 legs than to limp on 4!

Hugs, Barret and Heather

Barret was diagnosed with Hemangiopericytoma May 16, 2013. Front left leg/scapula/pectoral muscle was amputated on June 11, 2013 and we've never looked back. Follow our story on http://barret.t.....pawds.com/ and read my column on That Pet Blog

Great idea! Of course I have photos of Shelby ... I'll send them over! In all her Tripawd glory! 🙂

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

I'm getting some great pics in my email! Don't forget to submit your pictures! So far we only have 1 tripawd kitty represented!

 

Rene - do you think you could put a brief blog post together? I'll put a FB post together, maybe you can share it to your followers?

Email on the way....

~ Katy & Jackson

ACL tear in right hind leg 12/5/12 and scheduled ACL repair surgery 12/21/12. Pre-op xrays revealed osteosarcoma. Amputation 12/28/12.  Chemo (carboplatin) started Jan 10, 2013 and ended on April 5, for a total of 5 doses. He handled carbo like a champ!  No side effects.  We started metronomic therapy at his third chemo and have been also doing some holistic treatments.  He's a lively, playful 10 year old huskie-boarder collie and a very proud member of the Winter Warriors!  Our love. Our funny little guy!

I sent you one of each.  But if you need more for filler, I suppose I could be convinced to send some more. :D  You just let me know.

Adelaide is a young tripawd Husky, from an injury.  Her amp was on 10/1/12.  She has 4 sisters, Aissa (a senior border collie/chow), Maggie May (a puppy Great Pyrenees), Mathilde and Morrigan and 1 baby brother, Bagheera.  We are all watched over by our angel Brendol, who was dx with OSA 1/30/13, amp on 2/6/13, and left us on 8/20/13.

Hi Heather,

 

Thank you for taking on such a fun project!

You ask and you shall receive. My mom emailed some photos of me to the email address listed.

My mom did send some photos of my wedding day, when i married the handsome Wyatt, the sheriff here on Tripawds, but didn't know if my in-paws (Jim - Rene?) need to give permission to use those since they are the proud owners of my husdawg. Thought it would be fun for the world to see that Tripawds can even get married! Only having 3 legs doesn't stop us from doing what we want - even getting married! =)

 

thanks again for creating something very special!
