And SHELBY LYNNE!!! It is ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS a treat seeing photos of you! 🙂 🙂 Yep, you've mastered the art of being a Circus Dawg with great class!! Love you sweet girl!
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!
Clare,
Here are old photos of Mona learning to sit up. This one was when she learned, I had her go up and down twice, the third time she was annoyed and grabbed the bowl:
Here she is playing with a feather on a stick:
I have to try to get photos of her at other times but it's usually when I least expect it. My favourite is when she's trying to gain height to see over something.
One of the best sitting up I've seen a tripawd cat do is Smore. He/she is fit!!

You show 'em Mona! No silly dog is gonna upstage you!! Dogs wait for the treats to be GIVEN to them. You just TAKE yours!

I LOVE the fact she grabbed the bowl. Hehe! She's like 'C'mon Mum, just get to the point!' 🐱 ❤️
Ruby, Staffy, born June 2022, became a Tripawd, November 2023, adopted January 2024.
Also Angel Tripawd Meg (aka The Megastar), who died in April 2023, aged 14, after seven glorious years on three, and Angel Staffies Elsie Pie and Bille. In the pawprints of giants...
Oh my gosh! Just got caught up here and they are all SO CUTE! What an accomplishment, for both the critters and their people!
I know a certain four-legged dog *ahem* who doesn't wanna try that even for treats...wait til he hears he's been shown up by a CAT!
Way to go everyone! 
Okzy, bumping this post up hoping Meg and Elsie Pie will see this and know that we miss them and wonder where they've been!
I pm'd their human a few days ago out of concern and no reply yet. Not trying to intrude.
Sooooo, hoping everything is okay!!! We miss you all!
Sending love
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!

Mr. Poppet Purrkins and I were also wondering about Clare, Meg and Elsie.
Hope everyone is ok!
Me three!!! I was thinking about Meg and family a couple days ago and wondering where they had been... hopefully off on a grand adventure!

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
Can I just say I love you guys!! Cheered me up no end and gave me an idea for a new game to try and mentally exhaust the newest resident!!
I've been missing you guys too.
Love Meg xxx
