Sally!!! I love your pack!!!! Such sweet, sweet pictures!
Nails? I typically take our furbabies to have them done. Honestly, we rarely have to have them done as they keep them worn down playing outside.
Harmony became a Tripawd on 10/21/14 (MCT). She left us way too soon on 11/1/14.

PS - Jasper also gets her mani/pedi at the vet or daycare. I am not doing it! I never did it for Shelby either (in fact that was the only time Shelby bit someone - the groomer). Shelby HATED when you touched her paws ... it was years before she let me hold her paw.
Anywho... so I noticed on Jasper this a.m. her left dew claw is looking mighty long...she was JUST at the vet for her belly ache issues! I swear ... that dog likes to spend my $$$! This one is curling so she'll have to go to the vet for this one but I try and make her walk on cement!

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
Oh they are so gorgeous! It melts my heart, Sally, to know they've found a safe and loving forever home with you. And Nellie definitely has bull breed in her, I would say. She reminds me a little of my Elsie Pie. I think they are transatlantic cousins. So lovely to know that Nellie and Bob are being loved and cared for.
Ruby, Staffy, born June 2022, became a Tripawd, November 2023, adopted January 2024.

And as for Miss JL, Alison, she's an LA babe, of COURSE she likes spending your $$$
