So technically Jack's ampuversary isn't until tomorrow, but one year ago today we were starting to withhold his food and water and getting the place ready to bring home our new tripawd 🙂 I just got home from work and he ran to the door with a toy, jumped up, gave me kisses, and did the circle dance. We played my favorite game which is aptly called "tunnel" where I go down the hall and Jack runs after me and I catch him when he shoots through the "tunnel" my legs make 🙂 This year has absolutely flown by, and I'm still kind of in shock that the little bugger is still here and not only that but isn't having any noticeable problems; he's just...a normal dog. Thank you everyone for your support and compassion, and I promise that as you are all here for me, I will be here for you. Enjoy the video and I'm sure I'll have more pics tomorrow 🙂

Happy, Happy one year Jack! Love the video - you look so handsome. We shall celebrate with you and wish you many more years to come.
Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging. RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.

Happy, hoppy ampuversary, Jack!!! You are our hero - one year is so totally pawsome!! Holly and Zuzu will definitely get some ice cream and extra treats in your honor tomorrow. I might do the same. 
Great video!
Hugs,
Holly, Zuzu and Susan
Holly joined the world of tripawds on 12/29/2009. She has a big little sister, Zuzu, who idolizes Holly and tries to make all of her toys into tripawds in Holly's honor. And she's enjoying life one hop at a time!

How cool. Way to go Jack. One year, that is fantastic!!!! 
I'm now leaving the sofa and preparing a biscuit smothered in peanut butter for Fortis in honor of Jack.

I recently met a dog named Sergeant. Can I be a Lieutenant? Lt. Gerry... yeah.
Congrats on one year! My mom is being stingy and not celebrating my monthly ampuversaries. I have to wait for my one year to pawty! But I guess she's right that I have had lots of other pawties. Like my tripawd pawties and my return-of-the-couch party, and eventually I'm supposed to get a birthday pawty, once Mom decides what day she wants it to be on... but in the meantime...
Hoppy Ampuversary to yooooooooooou!!!
Gerry has been a tripawd since 12/16/2009.
He was a shelter dog with a mysterious past and an irrepairable knee injury.
Videos and pics of Gerry's pawesomeness can be found at: http://gerry.tripawds.com
Go go go, Captain! You bring so much hope to tripawd pawrents with your pawesomeness!!!
Congratulations on kicking cancer's butt for a YEAR!

What a great video! Puts a big smile on my face. Congratulations Capt Jack - that is so pawesome that you are celebrating 1 year!!!! You are our hero! Here's to many many more ampuversaries and celebrations! Wow! Fantastic!
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!
Oh LOVE IT!
Jack, thanks for always being here to inspire, to support and to show the world that there is hope after a cancer diagnosis.
Keep on keepin' on with your adorable self, we love you! Many, many congrats!!
