But today is my boy's 1 year anniversary of having his front leg removed from osteosarcoma. I am so so blessed to still have him in my life. I am happy to report he is happy and the scans are still coming back clean. I feel really lucky!! He is such a good boy and is happy. I am not sure how to post pics on this website ..Jerry can you tell me how? I will definitely post an updated shot of JACK. YAY JACK!!!! Proud of you big man !!!!

Erin and Jack,
It is with a very huge smile that we greet the wonderful posting. We could not be happier that you have the oppertunity of celebrating this wonderful milestone. Such a milestone calls for a huge pawrty with all the standard requirements, extra hugs, extra playtime, special treats, and ICE CREAM. Of course, we will be sure to add the chicken jerky, cheese, and green beans to our list of those items that have come to have very special meaning to very special people. Jack - hold out for a quarter-pounder and not just the standard hamburger - you are the man of the day for all of us. The three of us here will be celebrating vicariously and want to wish you many, many, many more ampuversaries.
Also, we want to see photos of the pawrty so you have your tasking Erin - along with those extra hugs.

Jack and Erin, WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO! Congratulations!
It seems like so long ago when you first posted here (anyone who wants to follow Jack's progress can see his posts here). While every anniversary, every day, is a gift, if we can reach this one year mark, that is truly a miraculous event and one that shouldn't go unrewarded! Treats, hugs, scratches and ICE CREAM for everypawdy!!!!
Erin, there are complete instructions for adding photos to Forum posts here. If you have any trouble PM me and I'll help. We can't wait to see some pics of your incredible miracle boy!

I love Happy Ampuversaries! and I really love the big one year milestone. You're an amazing pup, Jack and we hope to be celebrating with you for a long, long time.
I know what you mean about not expecting to be here to write the post. Each month that goes by, I think the same thing. Wow what a ride.!
Trouble is on prednisone, so we will be having veggies, and kibble, and anything else she can convince me to feed her - oh, and most likely at 2AM!
