Hi all, 

I've finally figured out this picture business!! Well, i think i have!!

Here is my boy Harry - some of you will know his story already - who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in July.  His amputation took place a week later.  He has been amazing over the past 4 months, even since lung mets were detected 3 weeks ago.  He is such a fighter.  We couldn't possibly love him more.

Harry is so handsome!  I am curious, did you do chemo with Harry after amputation.  The reason I asked is our dobie is 1 week post opp from her amputation and we are starting chemo on Tuesday.

Welcome Sally, your future forum posts will not require moderation.

Please consider starting a new topic to share your story so members can learn more about your pup and follow his (or her?) progress.

Harry, you are very very handsome.  I am glad we got to finally see pictures of you.  Sassy survived almost 7 months with lung mets so you can do it.  You can even beat the odds :) Keep fighting big guy.     These pictures are awesome.

Harry is one big handsome and very sweet looking dog.  He looks so huggable.  I'm sorry to hear about the mets, but keep on fighting.  Thanks for getting pictures up, we love pictures.

Adelaide is a young tripawd Husky, from an injury.  Her amp was on 10/1/12.  She has 4 sisters, Aissa (a senior border collie/chow), Maggie May (a puppy Great Pyrenees), Mathilde and Morrigan and 1 baby brother, Bagheera.  We are all watched over by our angel Brendol, who was dx with OSA 1/30/13, amp on 2/6/13, and left us on 8/20/13.
