Ty is our 13 year old chocolate lab who became a tripawd in July 2012. He started limping in April 2012. It was thought he had arthritis, anaplasmosis or CCL damage. Finally, he had an xray on 6/30/12 that found osteosarcoma in the femur of his right hindlimb. He was in a lot of pain, but he still had so much life in him. He had surgery on 7/13/12 - Ty was walking the evening of his surgery and running the next morning! He was able to do all the things he enjoyed again - hiking, taking long walks, eating, playing in the snow. He is starting to slow down a bit now. We consider every day with our amazing tripawd a gift!
