Great job, Teo! You look awesome!
Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging. RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.

What a beautiful boy Teo is. He’s looking like an old pro already on three legs. If he can maneuver in the snow anything is possible. Hope Teo has a great recovery. Keep us posted on how he is doing.

Two new videos for you:
Tiff and Nala. Tiffany celebrates three months after surgery.
This is Tiffany only 3 .5 months after amputation and 4 chemo treatments. Now this is a dog who a vet initially told us that big dogs don’t do well with amputations. We got a second opinion at CSU and read the tripawds blogs. Take a look at this video Tiff holds her own with out one year old. Yes this is how malamutes play

Today is Grady’s birthday, so I figured I’d ignore him, and put together a video instead! Just kidding…he’s rolling around in the sun, which we haven’t seen around here for a few days 
I’m NOT the video-taker in my house, and I’m nor reallty even the photographer; that task usually defaults to my husband. But, I have tried to take videos of Grady from the after his amp until now, 2 months later. I’ve also never played with Movie Maker before, and it was kinda fun!
Awww! Grady you are fantastic!
Thank you so much for sharing your movie debut here, we look forward to seeing many more!

This was my sweet girl 16 days after amputation. She was so independent that she didn’t want to use the ramp we built for her or wait for someone to carry her up the steps. Made me proud. <3
