First and foremost, I'd like to thank Jim, Rene, Spirit Jerry and Wyatt Ray for creating this wonderful community and working so hard to maintain it through the good times and not so good times (as of late events). P.S. admins, can one of you change my title to "Hoppy 3 yr Ampuversary to Tripawd Chloe". I was spacing...currently it sounds like her 3rd birthday, lol.
To them as well as to you, the community, thank you all so much for helping others celebrate each milestone, giving advice about experience, diagnoses, life etc..., for showering those in need of love before/after the tragic loss of a loved pup (or kitty!); you are all just fantastic!
And without further ado, I'd like to give a big shoutout to my 12.5yr old goofball-sweetheart mix (no idea on breed) tripawd Chloe on her THREE year ampuversary! We have had MANY adventures both good and bad over the past 3 years. I hope you enjoy the video as it is my favorite way to give tribute to each milestone she reaches 
Three cheers for three years as a three legged dog! Go Chloe!
Sincerely,
Nicole aka Chloe's mom

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.
That video is great and Chloe looks amazing... You'd never know she's 12!!!!
I can't imagine a better anthem for a sassy, salty, goofball of a girl. Love, love, love the video! Congrats, and here's to many more. <3

Happy 3rd Ampuversary Chloe!!! Loved the video...especially the part where she meets the little white dog who seems to snub her and she's got that look like what the heck!!! I laughed out loud. I was really missing my girl Tasha tonight and this helped put a smile on my face. 
Wishing you many more ampuversaries!!

Tasha was a German ShepherdBorder Collie mix who was diagnosed with OSA at age 8. On December 29, 2011 she had her front right leg amputated and received 4 rounds of chemo. Sadly and suddenly Tasha became sick and we discovered she had liver cancer that had spread to her lung. After almost 19 months, Tasha earned her wings on July 17, 2013. No regrets and never forgotten.

Yea that little dog is too funny whenever we meet him! I think he likes to taunt her since he darts around and she can't catch him. I'm glad the video helped you smile, losing a loved pup is a hard thing...

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. My beloved heart dog, see her memoirs from Rainbow Bridge ...... http://princess.....pawds.com/
Awww Nicole. I'm so glad I waited till today to give this my full attention (yesterday was crazy around here). What a FANTASTIC CELEBRATION! And your video is fabulous, thank you so so much for including us in this wonderful milestone, it's truly an honor to be a part of your lives. It was so much fun seeing all these clips of Chloe, she really is a rock star and proof that life can be great even after a cancer diagnosis. Wow! I just shared in on our Facebook page, everyone should see this.
I love the song too. Although I've never seen an episode of Glee I loved the music!
Congratulations Chloe! May you have a zillion more fantabulous ampuversaries AND birthdays! We love you gorgeous.

Wow! Three years is absolutely awesome. Love that we are seeing more long term survivors as time goes on. Chloe will be an inspiration for years to come. So very proud for you guys.

Zeus was a Husky mix diagnosed with Osteosarcoma at age 11. A visible lung met and suspicious spot on his liver meant a poor prognosis-six weeks was our vet's best guess. We decided to fight for our boy and his right front leg was amputated on 12/1/11. We did six rounds of chemo, changed his diet and spoiled him completely rotten. We were blessed with 10 great months after diagnosis. Against the odds, the lung met remained a single met and grew very little over those months. A wonderful furbaby with the most gentle spirit, he fought with a strength that we never imagined he possessed. We have no regrets...
