Yay Trapper! I'm glad you have found your furever home.

My Two Tripawds...Biscuit 
and Spirit Daisy 
Hooray! I logged in today just to see what happened - great news!
Ajax props himself up on a curb to pee - two front legs up, tripod leg on the street - and stretches out. Urban solution. But I think Trapper will try out a few ways until he finds what is easiest.
Have fun!
I've got a great photo of Trapper cuddling with my Golden, Marley but no clue how to post it from my IPhone. Am I going to have to go through photobucket?
Congratulations on your new family member.
I'm sure Trapper will figure out the best solution for pee-time. After several post-amp weeks of messy, wobbly attempts at leg-lifting, Rumbles eventually settled on a semi-girl squat pose.
I believe Trapper's surgery was last May. I don't think this standing on 2 paws to pee is going to go away...
But look! I got him on my avatar now! Still can't figure out how to post a pic yet though.
Becky,
Photos have to be hosted somewhere on line- like photobucket. Or you can start a blog here and load photos.
Here are some instructions for Adding Images to Your Post.
Or, if you post on Facebook here are instructions for Adding Pictures from your Facebook or Photobucket account.
Good job of loading Trapper's photo into the avetar- nice to put a snout with the name!

That's naptime for Trapper. Buddy is under the blankets. You can see a black ear poking out on the top right.
Awww, now that's one hoppy pack!

AWESOME!!!!
I'm late to the party, but just saw this and wanted to congratulatory you and your family for landing such a handsome Tripawd fella!
I was rescued by my Mom as well. I will be celebrating my 1 yr ampuversary next Friday!
I too am a tripawd via trauma, and I am missing the same leg. Well I actually don't seem to miss it at all 🙂
And just so you know, I have been known to balance on my 2 front feets only so I could pee on the top of a bush....and I'm a girl!!! My Mama sez I'm kind of dominant, whatever that means. I think it means I'm the BOSS! Which I totally agree with!!!
Mom wuz so suprized the first time she saw me do it! I even pee on trees!
Anyways, welcome to the gang and thank you for taking in another fellow tripawd 🙂

sorry to hear of the recent loss of your pup. how wonderful you are willing to open your heart to another.
i'd suggest you look in the forum topic that is dedicated to tripawds that need a home - there are three here in east tennessee that have recently surfaced, but you might not be up for a road trip. also, if you go to petfinder.com and search under 'special needs' in your area, there are often tripawd dogs included in that sub-set of adoptable dogs. if you can register as a user on tripawds, you won't have to wait for moderation of your post. good luck, and do keep in touch once you find your new heart dog!!!

Life is good, so very, very good!!! Gayle enjoyed each and every moment of each and every wonderful day (naps included). She left this world December 12, 2011 – off on a new adventure.
