Oh, Atlas...you are wonderful! How great to see you dancing for your ampuversary. Keep it up!
Kathi and Murphy
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!
Having trouble with this pad cutting out. Sound familiar Sally ?
Atlas had his check up Tuesday, his 7 month ampuversary , and his blood work looked great, all normal ranges, lungs and heart sound good, physical exam all good including prostate exam. He was not happy about that one. He has gained 9 lbs - up to 140 now, but doc says he looks good, it's because his neck and long back muscle are solid as a rock now and muscle weighs more than fat so not to worry too much. Yippee skippy love those good check ups! dr. w said to do X-rays in a couple months.
YAY! Hoppy ampuversary Mighty Atlas. Keep up the good fight!

Atlas, you have energy to spare! You should've been the Grand Marshall of the Macy's parade!!!! Glad to hear you're doing so well buddy!!
You rock our world Atlas! Wowwwwweeee! Every time I see your handsome face I'm just astounded at how far you've come.
To think that doctors said you weren't a good candidate for surgery because of your wobblers disease. We say it here a lot; second opinions pay off! YAAAAY ATLAS!!
Love you big guy, keep on dancin!

Oh you handsome boy!!! I think this video should go to that silly old vet that was so wrong! Gotta love a good happy dance to go along with some awesome news!
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.
Thanks everybody! We are so happy our big boy is doing so good. This video was a few days after his acupuncture. It's amazing how much it helps him. A couple days before his biweekly acupuncture he starts getting heavy and it seems to take a lot more effort to move his 140 lb body. Then he gets acupuncture and bam he's light as a feather again and moving around like in this video. His wobblers believe it or not seems to be dissipating instead of increasing. Dr W said it's very likely that the neck muscle becoming so strong could be helping. Not that he doesn't have wobbly days, but all and all, he's light years better than anyone predicted.
Hummm, never saw this post, but it is never to late!
Happy ampuversary Atlas!
I'm heading over now to look at the B-day post.

Happy 7 month ampuversary to handsome Atlas
Love, love, love the video-brought a huge smile
to my face-thanks so much for sharing!!
Keep kicking cancer's butt, handsome Atlas!!
Joan and Lily
Our beautiful Lily was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her front leg on 12/14/11 at age 8 and had amp on 12/16/11. She completed 5 rounds of carbo. She was so brave and kicked cancer's butt daily! She lived life fully for 4 years, 3 months, and 15 days after her amp. My angel is a warrior princess. I miss her so much.
Is Atlas moom dancing?? I think he is!!
YAAAAAY! I finaly got to see tis! I'm starting a petition to put Atlas on "Dancing With The Stars"! He got so excited he just could not stay on that rug! An artist like the Mighty Atlas cannot be confined to just rugs when expressing their soul through dance!!
To see Atlas soooooo hapy and soooooo full of joy just warms my heart! This is a miracle dog right here folks! You need to wrap this videoup with a pretty little bow and send it to "that" vet who was so ....so....."uninformed" !
And that sweet Sophie...I love her! Just hapily walking around with her stuffie and letting Atlas take the spotlight with his dancing prowess!
What a great way to celebrate a seventh ampuversary!!
Keep spreading the joy...we're lovingit!
Sally and Happy Hannah
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!
