This morning first thing as I opened the door to let Tasha outside I saw a double rainbow, I have seen a few before but today on Tasha's one year ampuversary I felt like Tasha was given a special gift.
Today we feel so blessed to be able to post that Tasha is celebrating her one year ampuversary. Tasha has had a wonderful life this past year and we are so proud of her, after the first 2 weeks of hell, it's all been good. The day we picked her up from her surgery I remember being so scared and wondering what kind of life she would have on three legs. Ha, what a laugh. She has never missed that leg. We left behind a leg that day but in return we brought home a dog that has so much more of a joy for life, she is so much more affectionate, vocal, she never really ever barked before, now she whoofs for everything, she is so funny. That day we truly brought home a different but better version of Tasha.
Today as we celebrate please give your furbabies and extra hug in remembrance of our tripawd heroes that we have lost and then an extra goodie to help Tasha as she celebrates 12 months, Yay Tasha, I love you, my girl.

Happy Happy 1 year ampuversary Tasha!! You are such an inspiration and we are so proud of you!!
The day we picked her up from her surgery I remember being so scared and wondering what kind of life she would have on three legs. Ha, what a laugh. She has never missed that leg.
That rings so true! I never thought in my wildest dreams that I'd have my puppy back like this. I'm so glad you have yours back. We will definitely be eating extra treats and ice cream in celebration! Way to go Tasha!! 
Kami, Mackenzie & Kobe
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
Tasha you are a champ!!
Very very Happy 1 year Ampuversary to you, celebrate in style.
