Hard to believe 3 long months ago we started the ampuversary celebrations.  I am so glad that Sassy & I found this wonderful "family".  If it wasn't for this site and many of you who have taken us under your wing and given advice,  talked this crazy mom off a a cliff many times I don't know where we would be today.   So  THANK YOU from the bottom of Sassy & my hearts and please on this wonderful Valentine's day help us celebrate 3 months. 

 

Hugs to everyone and their fur babies. 

Happy Valentines Day

 

Michelle & Sassy

Hugs right back to you and Sassy!  You make a great team :)  Congrats on the 3 month ampuversary!

Liberty (Libby) was diagnosed with OSA on 1-22-13.  Right front amputation on 1-31-13. No IV Chemo. Metronomic Therapy started 2-19-13 along with supplements and some home cooking. Lungs clear until 1-06-14.  She's still her happy, hoppy, bossy self.  Living the dog life to the fullest and a proud Winter Warrior. :) RIP my Libby 4-21-03 to 3-19-14

Wow - the 3 month ampuversary is a special one since 3's such an awesome number. Lots of treats for everyone to celebrate!

And Happy V-Day too Sassy! Here's to many more celebrations in your future!

Jackie, Angel Abby's mom

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!

Congrats on your 3 month ampuversary. I agree, this is a wonderful site that helps people through their journeys in a way that no other support network can.

 

Hugs to you and Sassy

 

Karen and Spirit Magnum

Magnum: 30th May 2002 to 5th May 2012. Lost her back left leg to osteosarcoma on 5th Sep 2011. Lung mets found on 20th Mar 2012 but it was bone mets in the hip that ended her brave battle. Magnum's motto - "Dream as if you'll live for ever, live as if you'll die today" (James Dean). Loyal, loving, courageous and spirited to the end.

Yey, Sassy!  Hoppy 3rd ampuversary!  Wow, 3 months!  Look how far you've come.  It's amazing.  I'm proud to be part of your family.  Woot woot, Sassy!

ACL tear in right hind leg 12/5/12 and scheduled ACL repair surgery 12/21/12. Pre-op xrays revealed osteosarcoma. Amputation 12/28/12.  Chemo (carboplatin) started Jan 10, 2013 and ended on April 5, for a total of 5 doses. He handled carbo like a champ!  No side effects.  We started metronomic therapy at his third chemo and have been also doing some holistic treatments.  He's a lively, playful 10 year old huskie-boarder collie and a very proud member of the Winter Warriors!  Our love. Our funny little guy!

I did celebrate for you yesterday, Sassy! We had way too many treats here. Evelyn had some bacon, then some smoked salmon. I'm not sure she could hear me over the gobbling noises, but I reminded her it was your day. Next month at this time we'll do it again! Keep hopping along and doing such a great job!

Happy 3 month Sassy.  I cant believe its been 3 months already.  Mom must be very proud of you.  Keep on fighting the fight Sassy.  Sending lots of hugs and kisses your way.

Lots of chicken as that is all she likes to eat after her chemo.  But she is doing great :)

Happy 3 month ampuversary, Sassy!!! You go girlclap So happy to celebrate with you--plenty of chicken treats (Lily loves them too)

Joan and Lily

Our beautiful Lily was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her front leg on 12/14/11 at age 8 and had amp on 12/16/11. She completed 5 rounds of carbo. She was so brave and kicked cancer's butt daily! She lived life fully for 4 years, 3 months, and 15 days after her amp. My angel is a warrior princess. I miss her so much.
