Peda ... stand up and take a bow!
(ok, so is that a mean thing to ask a front leg tripawd to do)?! 
My beautiful dog has officially made it to 11 months from surgery.
Thanks to all here at Tripawds for your continued support and care through such a difficult journey. And in no small way thanks to her super vet team!
I'm also being a bit cheeky and actually figuring she's made it 12 months since cancer hit (which given I found the lump late June 2012, then pretty much it had taken hold this time last year). Looking back I think I know when it started (May 2012) but that is only because I saw the almost exact same pattern of symptoms (and blood tests etc) happen this year just as we found a lung met.

Congrats, Peda! That is a huge anniversary!
And Kirsty, no! It's not mean to tell the pupper to stand up and take a bow 
I still make Sam give "high fives" for treats every night :p

Joan and Lily
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.
Peda that is pawesome!!!
