Holistic route April 2017. Lung X-ray 5 May 2017 showed several tennis ball size mets, started cortisone and diuretics. Miss Cow earned her XXL silver wings 12 June 2017, 13 months and 1 week after amputation and 6 1/2 months after lung mets, she was the goofiest dawg ever and is now happily flying from cloud to cloud woof woofing away :-)

ALWAYS good to hear from THE TANK!!!! NOTHING holds this boy back from living life to the fullest!😁
Looking forward to pics, and video. Well....okay...maybe not ALL video....if you skip the actual "catching" pig part, that would be okay😉😉 But I know Tank is a master at it.....even on three!!! And that is absolutely amazing!
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!

...thank you for letting me share them on this page too. I pupdated his profile pic this is his happy face after catching that pig the other night.
The long wait is over, we can all get to enjoy the Tankman in his full Aussie glory! Check out these photos we just received.
Tank's dad is a "snake take away" expert in Australia, so don't worry, I'm sure that's a friendly reptile in the photo!
Can't wait to hear the backstory on the rest of these adorable pics!

Thank you jerry,
I do snake removal and pest control for a living so the snake in the photo is Jake he is a pet blackheaded python and he lives in an enclosure next to tanks bed so they are all friends. The other pack members in tanks crew are Tj the black and white dog she is a Bull Arab, Sasha the wonder dog is the brindle and white one she is a Bull Arab x Bulldog and then we have kellie the silver and tan kelpie she is a year old now and is a natural pig and fly chaser she’s a handful with all her energy but a great little dog too. The girls in tanks pack are the quietest and sweetest dogs I have ever owned there all such good dogs I’m privileged to own such a wonderful bunch of dogs. They all get along with the other animals and dogs with no dramas what so ever except pigs that’s a different story. Thank you for putting up the photos for me and I will make sure i get some good ones I’m the future.
Wow!!!! Fantastic photos, thank you!!! You have a handsome pack there, I am so excited to see pictures finally 
So glad to hear all is well, your pups are totally amazing 
They look like the best of friends!!

Amazing pack, they are all so cute 😍 thank you so much for posting these pictures!
So, you catch snakes, that pet snake of yours is a beauty but I must confess I wouldn't be comfortable with a big snake as a pet 🐍
Great to see how the dogs are cool around her 🐾🐍🐾
Looking forward to more pictures and videos!

Oh how fun! Jake the Snake is pretty cool. And yeah, amazing dogs and reptiles in your pack, for sure!
Our first pet before Jerry was a Red Tailed Boa Constrictor. Snakes have a special place in our hearts.
Feel free to send photos anytime, it's fun to see your pack in action.

There's that famous Tank and his handsome crew!! And Tank, you clean up really well!!! You love your mud "baths", that for sure!
Tasha and TJ actually .ook like they could be very distant relatives. They have similar ear positions 😎 And little Kellie, you clearly are showing the big doggies size doesn't matter! And Jake, the fact that you and the dogs are friends...well.....all I can say is, that's real nice!!
And Jake, and all of Tanks's crew are mighty lucky to have such a loving and caring home!! I love that everybody gets along!
It just warms my heart to see your pack, but especially to see how happy Tank is to be Tank!

Hi all it’s been a while since I’ve been on here tankman is still going strong, and his front remaining leg is doing really well so far there’s no sign of slowing down or pain as yet from having only one. I have held him back a bit from doing too much he still jumps on and off the ute and runs 3-4 kilometres with out a hassle about once a week now but I try not to let him do more but he does it at his own free will.
So good to hear from you! Of course... after all this time we would love to see a picture of your pack (hint, hint.. just sayin') I am so tickled that Tank is still rocking life on three, yay!!
We wonder many times how our tripawd friends are doing, that was so sweet of you to hop in and give a quick pup date
Please give that handsome boy some good belly rubs from his tripawd friends

OH yayyyyY! Wow Tankman! It's so good to know life is treating you very well and your dad is doing everything to make sure your body stays strong and injury free.
I can't wait to see some pictures and video! Will you have your dad post some for us?

Soooo thrilled to hear from Tankman and his pack!! He really is an incredible athlete and clearly loves large on three!!!
I'm sure trying to get him to slow down a little bit is close to impossible. But good job of at least ttying!
It really is good to hear from uou. Thanks so much on the update on this amazing guy. We are all HIGE fans of TankMan!!

Hi all we Moved house a few weeks ago to a high set house and it has stairs so for the last few weeks tank couldn’t follow the others up or down stairs at all.
Now this week he is a stair climbing magician he floats up and down them like they weren’t there. I will email a video to jerry and hopefully you will be able to see him in action.
Can't wait to see it! I am sure the stairs were a bit of a challenge that he had to weigh out in his head before working it out. I am really glad he was able to master it! Always love hearing from you and seeing your handsome pups, hope you are all doing well and staying healthy!
Hugs,
