Hello Friends,
Happy to announce that Tucker celebrated his 2 month ampuversary today! Tucker is now going for short walks daily and has resumed all of his regular activities. Best news from an overall health perspective, Tuck has lost four pounds in the last five weeks with the help of special dog food and healthy snacks only!
Thanks from Tucker and I for all the support and friendship we have gotten over the last two months. This journey would have been much more difficult without all of you.
I had hoped to have pictures uploaded to photobucket today so that I could share photos of Tucker with all of his friends but, alas, I seem to be having some difficulties.
Linda and Tucker 
Love to hear the great news! I hope Tucker's recovery continues to go well!

Murphy
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!
OH Tucker! You don't know how badly we needed to know that a Tripawder is kicking butt! Thank you for sharing this great news, may you continue to be pawesome awesome for a long, long, long time. Keep it up!
As for photobucket issues, tell your Momma to come into the chat and we'll try to help.

When Hapoy Hannah found out it was Tuck's ampuversary she went out to the yard and "caught" a gift for Tuck.
Sendng you love and eatng cake and ice cream t celebrate!! Hapoy Hannah feels like it's her duty to eat a lot whenever she hears a dog has lost weight! She doesn't understand that's a GOOD thing! She thinks if she eats twice the usual amount, Tuck will gain his weight back!
HAPY AMPUVERSARY TUCK AND THOUSANDS MORE!!
