It's been a little over 4 months since Nitro gained his angel wings. Like this entire journey, learning to live without him has had its ups and downs; moving forward has been a little like wading through molasses. But it's true, time does heal all, whether you want it to or not. But I digress. There is indeed magic in the air, at a magical time of the year....something magical is headed my way, and I couldn't be more excited. Stay tuned, Tripawd Nation, in less than a week, all will be revealed!
Paula and Warrior Angel Nitro
Nitro 11 1/2 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. Follow his blog entitled "Doberman's journey"

Oooooh what is Santa Paws bringing you? Hint! Hint!
Does it have fur?
Or maybe fins?
Is it a unicorn?
We can't wait to see what Nitro and SP have planned.

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!
Paula, Paula you got me all curious and excited now 😃
I asked Angel Miss Cow for a hint (after all she must know, Nitro surely told everybody at the bridge) but nop.
Her big slobbery lips are sealed.
Guess we all gotta wait as you're not saying anything 🤐
Sally, perhaps we could a private conversation 😏???

Eurydice 77kg/170lb Great Dane limping end of April 2016, amputation (right front leg/osteosarcoma) 4 May 2016 6 courses of carboplatin followed by metronomic therapy, lung mets found 30 Nov 2016. 3 courses of doxorubicin, PET scan 26 Jan 2017 showed more mets so stopped chemo. 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 :-)
