Wow, when I first started to read this post from the beginning, I was ready to give some positive advice, until I saw the date.......How happy I am to see this is 3 years old and your beautiful Raven is doing so well since his amp, and journey with the ugly "c" !! To see such positive outcomes warms my heart and gives so much hope to so many here still fighting this awful disease with their pups and kitties.

Very Happy, healthy amp anniversary, and may you and Raven have many, many more happy days and anniversaries ahead!

You don't know.. how big of a smile I have across my face when I read these posts.. 

I too thought.. ohhh someone needs advice.. their doggie is going in next week.. until I saw the date...  and then I scrolled through..... and scrolled.. and scrolled.. saw the one year update.. two year update.. and when I saw your post this morning.. I thought.. HOW FREAKING FAN FRUCKING TASTIC IS THIS????????   I'll tell you.. it is freaking fan frucking tastic!!!  lol

When I read your first post.. on how you were so unsure of what you were doing.. if you should do it.. and I just laugh as I am sure that you are too!  With this stupid "C" word.. you just don't know until you try!  And you, and Raven, and the rest of your family have been blessed beyone measure!!!  I'm sure you smile every day... and cherish every day... 

I was hesitant with our guys when he was almost 14.. and unfortunately, my sweet boy ran for the bridge 6 months after amputation.. but those were 6 months I may not have had.. 6 months he was pain free.. and 6 months of spark in his eyes and smiles on his lips!!  It was worth it!!  Every single penny and minute!

Congrats Raven on your success!!!!  High fives with paws!!

I wish I could see your pictures though.. they didn't show up!!

Christine... with Franklin in her heart♥

Franklin, he was the Happiest Dog on Three Legs! Diagnosed 09/26/2012 with Osteosarcoma, amputated 12/4/2012.  Had a wonderful 5 1/2 months painfree until he ran for the Bridge on 5/15/2013.  Always in my heart, and always a guardian angel of my pack...   You can follow his Tripawd Adventures, before and after, in my blog, Frank'n'Farter!

Well, they're way too big, but here they are!  How do I downsize them, Jerry?

Ohhhh look! Love these pix! If you'd ever care to elaborate on how you taught Raven to do weave poles, we'd love to feature your story in our Gear blog .

Don't worry about resizing, in the Forums they get auto-resized as you can see.

Go Raven!

It's awesome that he is able to do a little agility. It's so cool to see a dog do what he loves!
