Well, we made another milestone today. Its Ms Sassy's 4 month ampuversary. What a journey it has been. A good one none the less. We have had a lot of ups & a few downs but we are continuing on. Sassy has had no more coughs since those 2 weeks ago. She is very active and loving & living life. As we are with her. For her celebration she had pot roast, some hamburger on her food and a ride around our State park to see the deer. She had a good time barking at all of them.
Sassy is a proud member of the Winter Warriors. Live long, & strong Winter Warriors.

Sassy girl, you are soooo pretty! Congrats to you both and thanks for being pawesome examples for the rest of us. Keep up the good fight!
I'm with Erica, a DQ would hit the spot. Or maybe I'm thinking of myself? 
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
Congratulations!! Sassy is amazing and I just want to snuggle with her. You are both so strong, keep on going

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!

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.
Happy Ampuversary Sassy Girl!! Sounds like you had quite the celebration meal! I'm glad you had such a great day, and are having continued great days. You are a true Tripawd Warrior Princess!!
Way to go Sassy girl. You are so darn cute, just want to give you a big ol' bear hug. Pittie kisses from Brendol!
