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
This was so very sweet of you. Thank you!

Sally - beautiful tribute to our angels of the Tripawd Community, and their brave "pawrents", that serve as examples to all of us that are battling this battle. Not a day goes by without an example of courage, resilience, and love.

She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.
Beautiful Sally... Just like last year Awful August and September struck again... This is such a great tribute to the Angels who just passed.
Keep up the great job Sally

Awww, Sally... Thanks for the lovely tribute to our August and September angels. I take so much comfort picturing them playing together and knowing that they were welcomed by Happy Hannah, Jake. Shelby, Polly, Ty and so many others.
(((Big Hugs!!!)))
Deb and Angel Lexie* Diagnosed at age 13. Tried radiation first; wish we had amputated upon diagnosis (even with lung mets). Joined Club Tripawd April 2014 & Lexie loved life on 3 legs! Advice: Start physical therapy as soon as your vet clears it, especially hydrotherapy if available :-) See Lexie pics here.
Sally,
So very thoughtful and sweet.......and so many more brave Tripawd princes and princesses shining their eternal light; Continuing to keep all their moms and dads in my thoughts, and hoping each day brings them closer to peace and much less pain within their hearts.
Love,
Bonnie& Angel Polly
