And also in celebration of her inspawrational life on 3 legs, in a couple months we will be joining "Furry Friends Pet Assisted Therapy" in order to help those in need. The place near us and the potential team I will be joining visits a nursing home every month. I know everyone loves going to children's hospitals (closest one is 40 miles away), but I think the opposite age group is just as important. Chloe is an "old lady" by dog standards and has beaten cancer, I think she will inspire many. She's already inspired me.
I just need to get her paperwork together when I go home for break (vet visit), send it in, attend one class and then hopefully in January we will be a Tripawd Therapy Team! I will keep you updated on how this goes!!!
And so, I would like to give back to the world that has given me more precious time with my precious Chloe. Thank you everyone and what ever is out there that has made this possible!!!

Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog
Another Tripawd therapy dog is just so beautiful to think about! Good job guys!
My own therapy dog career was spent visiting the old folks. Even just sitting by them and being a good boy so they could pet my fur brought smiles to so many people. There are few things in the world as touching as seen a care home resident's face light up at the sight of a furry companion.

Having joined Tripawds around the same time as you twoit has been so nice to see you move through this whole process. From surgery to healing, separation to togetherness again, you both have been through alot. Nicole, thank you for sharing your journey with us here and for all you are doing to spread the word about how fantastic Tripawds can be.
