Bless your heart... .I think you can post in the Tripawds Angel Exchange and perhaps it will find a new home there. That is really incredibly generous of you and definitely a wonderful way to honor sweet Buddy!!!
Much love to you!

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
Aww Julie, I know this is hard. I also know how proud Buddy is of you for paying it forward. As Alison said, it's a beautiful way to honor sweet Buddy and is so generous and kind of you!
It's so sweet to know that Buddy loved it!
Love and hugs to you.....
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
How much did Buddy weigh? I was reading through your old posts to see if you mentioned it. He looks like he was a big boy from your avatar picture. I don't think Otis is ever going to be able to walk more than a couple of houses, and I know he would like to go farther. But he is big, and it seems hard to invest in a stroller not knowing how long we have.
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016. Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. Lung mets August 25, 2016. Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.
Buddy weighed approx 50 lbs but the stroller is rated up to 150 lbs - I think, I'll have to check.
You are move than welcome to it for Otis. It helped Buddy's spirits so much - just want it to help another Tripawd.
Email me and let me know if you want it!!

Buddy looked so happy in his chariot in the pix in your other post! In the other post, you mentioned it was rated to 100 pounds, which puts Otis right at that limit. Probably better that it go to one of our more "petite" Tripawds. I have to admit looking at the picture of Buddy and trying to imagine him double his size!

Hi Julie,
What good juju for someone to have Buddy's chariot. That is so so sweet of you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
