I belong to a breed club web page that has themed picture days once a week. This week's them was "Four off the floor" - pictures of dogs jumping, or rolling upside down - anything with all their feet off the ground. Trey decided they discriminating against some of the most special dogs around, so he protested with a picture of his own. With tongue firmly in cheek, here is Trey's photo (which got many likes and positive comments) 
Love it! Trey I think you definitely got your point across! Big smile here.

Trey is brilliant! He even has his serious protest face on.
Love it.

OMD- he's so big!!!!!
And way to go to stand (or sit) up for the 'otherwise footed'!
He's so big!!!!
Elly and I have taken a couple of classes and every time the instructor said something along the lines of 'be sure all four feet...' I would say 'or three'.
He is so freaking big!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
Yeah Trey! 
I always correct when I hear the "four footed friends" too!
