Thank you, Sally! I had not seen her story - my goodness. I am always amazed by the stories here and how many incredible people have opened their hearts and homes to dogs with difficult pasts.

Thanks Sally!!! This blog got bumped pretty quickly yesterday but I have followed Nora's story with her beautiful family for months now. But the video ... I was bawling last night ... such happy tears. Even after her beyond rough start in life ... Nora's grace and joy comes through in all those videos and photos.... I love this family ... there is just something about them... Nora's happy smile warms my heart - always! I hope everyone has a chance to watch it!

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
