Calpurnia wanted to celebrate her 14th birthday with a run with the team. Here is a short video:
We arranged her line so she could ride in the sled when she got tired, or run with the team if she wanted to. Who says old 3-legged dogs can't lead active lives?
Go Cali Go! 
You never cease to amaze us. Here's to many more Hoppy Birthdays!

Way to go, Calpurnia! Your video is amazing!
Happy Birthday! We hope you get lots of treats!
Hugs,

(sorry if my post shows up multiple times - it kept not saving it, so I'm hoping the third time is the charm!)
Holly joined the world of tripawds on 12/29/2009. She has a big little sister, Zuzu, who idolizes Holly and tries to make all of her toys into tripawds in Holly's honor. And she's enjoying life one hop at a time!

She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Cali is the three legged one hopping along in back, though you might never notice by the way she is keeping up with the pack! 🙂
