I was asked by someone here, so thought I'd just share this link:
Rottie Raven, osteosarcoma at 8-1/2 years old, amputation in October '09 and in February '10 due to liver mets he went back to heaven where he came from. raven.tripawds.com
Now I have Miles, rottie mix amputee from a shelter and traveled 1500 miles to find his way here through the Rescue Railroad thanks to tripawds.com. miles.tripawds.com
Simply beautiful. Thanks for sharing your story.

Raven, you're a very lucky dog to have someone who loves you so much to help you through this journey you're been given.
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.

I loved all the pictures and videos of Raven's adventures to the park and the beach with you and auntie Laura... What beautiful memories... You should probably take him back there for his birthday... but try not to fall in the water this time... 
as I'm sure it's pretty cold now! I love the butt wiggles!!! He is just such a sweetheart!!! Raven is one lucky dog!!
Angel Jake's Mom
Jake, 10yr old golden retriever (fractured his front right leg on 9/1, bone biopsy revealed osteosarcoma on 9/10, amputation on 9/17) and his family Marguerite, Jacques and Wolfie, 5yr old german shepherd and the newest addition to the family, Nala, a 7mth old Bengal mix kittie. Jake lost his battle on 11/9/2009, almost 8 weeks after his surgery. We will never forget our sweet golden angel… http://jakesjou.....ipawds.com ….. CANCER SUCKS!
What a journey! I expect life continues to be "all about Raven" even today (here we have 'in the world that revolves around Tazzie').
I love the footprints in the sand photo. Really nice!
My pawrents remember thinking about how I would probably get sick real fast when they learned I had cancer. But ha! I proved them wrong! There is always a chance that our furbabies will beat the odds. Bless you for giving Raven that opportunity. May he have many, many more birthdays!

Raven
Maybe we can have a joint 9 year old bday party next weekend! Anyone else having a birthday soon? (Stupid mum can't remember if I was born Dec 4 or Dec 6, silly mum 
). She says I can have the really expensive organic roast she bought for my chemo in August, but I never needed. Yummm. You are all invited!!

Oh special day! Raven deserves every spoiling moment. We got to meet him and he's the greatest guy.
So he likes the 'Rilla (that's what we call the screaming monkey) best? Mine do too, although we have trouble keeping it whole. I think we're on Rilla #6 or 7.
May the good news continue!

Rilla, that's a good name. He likes cows best. He crunches one time too many and breaks their insides. He's on Cow #7. The Rilla is still fine and his first one. I only keep it as back up in case he breaks a cow and there's no current backup. Ha, the things we do for our doggies...

Dawn,
Thanks for sharing- it brings back some pretty tough memories for when Maggie was diagnosed, and had her amp. But also the 'up' side of the roller coaster we have been on. She had her amp in September of 06, she wasn't supposed to make it to her next birthday in March of 07, when she would be 8.
Now we are looking forward to her being 11 next March!!
Mag also has one of those Monkeys- since she is so small she has to bite it just right to get the sound to come. But she gets this evil little grin on her face when she gets it to go off, then she does it over and over and over...
She seems to know how annoying it is to us...I have conveniently left that toy at my parents house
Can't wait to hear the details of the birthday party!
