Ann, thanks so much for your kindness and generosity and time! Never mind my farm grungy self, but you gotta love how Atlas's tail never stops wagging the whole time! He was really going crazy and pushing me over, took me a minute to remember you said you used Elgin as a model....Boy could Atlas smell him! Too much fun! And I think with just a little longer Velcro strap we'll be in business. Thanks again, so very much!

Jill is a 9-year-old tuxedo kitty. She was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in June 2012 on her toe in her right hind leg. Her leg was amputated on 12/12/12 and she completed four rounds of chemo (2 of Carbo, 2 of Doxy) in April 2013.

Oh Atlas what a good boy you are! Did the envelope taste good? 
That is so cool that Elgin's Momma made that for you. We know she's onto something with this invention of hers, it's so badly needed by a lot of Tripawds.

Patricia, that's such a beautiful video.....the love, the joy....it's just such a reflection of finding happiness in the moment of simplicity. I just love that video:-)
That Atlas sure gets his bucket list filled every time you give him a present to open. He doesn't care what's in it....he just dogs the journey with enthusiasm while reaching his goal!!
WONDERFUL JOB ATLAS! You are an amazing soul! May you keep opening presents of joy every second of everyday!

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!
Good job Atlas! I can tell you really like receiving mail! 
I hope that pad serves you well!
Elgin's Mom: very cool!! That's a great invention you have going, and I think it will help out a lot of Tripawds!
AWWWWWWW! Although it doesn't fit quite right here, I don't care: he's SO perfect!!! Nice setup you got there, Big Guy!

ACL tear in right hind leg 12/5/12 and scheduled ACL repair surgery 12/21/12. Pre-op xrays revealed osteosarcoma. Amputation 12/28/12. Chemo (carboplatin) started Jan 10, 2013 and ended on April 5, for a total of 5 doses. He handled carbo like a champ! No side effects. We started metronomic therapy at his third chemo and have been also doing some holistic treatments. He's a lively, playful 10 year old huskie-boarder collie and a very proud member of the Winter Warriors! Our love. Our funny little guy!
He is such a graceful tripawd! I just want to hug him!
What a great idea!
Spirit Shooter was a Miniature Australian Shepherd who was diagnosed with a MCT and had a LF amp 1/28/13 at 13-1/2 years old.
Shooter crossed the Bridge on 8/28/13, his 7 month ampuversary and two weeks from his 14th birthday.
