It's 3:30 a.m. and do you know where your Tripawd is? Oh, upstairs in my daughter's room harassing the cats and trying to steal their food.

Really, Otis?
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016. Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. Lung mets August 25, 2016. Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.

Lol!
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!
Hmmmm Maybe that's why Daisy felt the need to wake us up at 4am for attention??? meow meow meow meow
pet me pet me pet me ugh! (by the way, Daisy doesn't really like to be pet except when she asks to be pet!)
Donna, Glenn & Murphy

My ex-husband's cat (still lives with me, long story) routinely comes to bed between midnight and 2:00 a.m. wanting attention. It's a wonder I get any sleep at all.

Ah Otis, good for you to take advantage of those sleeping. It really warms my heart and makes me giggle when I hear my tripawd kitty Mona hop down to her chair then box to the floor to head downstairs to scratch on her cardboard scratching box, only to turn around and come straight back to bed! Of course it's in the middle of the night. Why she gets that urge I'll never know. I would understand wanting a snack.
You gotta love them.
