Our Super Dog Hunter crossed over the Rainbow Bridge on a beautiful summer day in July, just 3 days shy of his 10th Birthday. He gave us everything since he was 8 weeks old. Hunter was a 14 month warrior of OS. We LOVE and MISS him every day.
There he is! Love it!

TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.
I just saw the Gallery, I love it!!! I can see them all running around together so clear now. Strangers on earth, best friends in heaven

How kind of you for that image! That really helps.
When another tripawd passes I always tell the owner that their beloved should find our Hunter.

Agreed!!! That is a beautiful way to look at it and does help with the healing (a bit). I can totally see Shelby being a major pain to all the big dogs (especially the labs). Shelby liked to jump at the backs of bigger dogs and then run off and urge them to chase her. She loved to be chased until she felt cornered and then she would cry like a baby and the dogs would laugh (it would appear) at her. She was always such an instigator and I believe that is the role she is playing across the bridge... definitely BFFs~

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 is one of my favorites. Jersey Girl chillin' after her first (and only) swim as a tripawd.
Thank you for doing this!

Thanks, Rene, for HRH Roxie's picture. She's in very, very good company with all her heavenly friends.

Just too many...
I picked a picture I took on the first day of spring, just days before he passed. I promised him that he wouldn't die in nasty old winter, and he had managed to get in just a few gloriously warm and sunny days 
This is still my all time favourite....
Franklin, he was the Happiest Dog on Three Legs! Diagnosed 09/26/2012 with Osteosarcoma, amputated 12/4/2012. Had a wonderful 5 1/2 months painfree until he ran for the Bridge on 5/15/2013. Always in my heart, and always a guardian angel of my pack... You can follow his Tripawd Adventures, before and after, in my blog, Frank'n'Farter!
Awww love these pix, thanks. I just added them to the Angels gallery.
