Entirely gratuitous pic alert (sorry), but this just delighted me so much, I couldn't resist... They've never done it before.
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...
Are you holding something really yummy on the other side of the camera? I am feeling the intense brain waves from here. Feed us. Feed us. Feed us.
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.
Roast chicken, Christine. However did you guess?! Though actually Elsie has this expression pretty much all the time, especially since I put her on a diet...

MAAAAADE MY DAY!!!! I am so thankful for so-called gratuitous photos!
I just love these two!! 
We didn't need the "gratuitous alert"...We needed the MEG AND ELSA CUTENESS ALERT,!!!
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!
I agree with Sally, these two are incredibly cute. Adorable on their own but they are off the charts when together.
Thanks for showing us a new kind of workout.

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
