But in all seriousness- I consider it a token compared to the information, love, support, and general sanity this site provides.

 

Amen.  I couldn't agree more!!!

(Though I do wonder sometimes, if this is me sane... wow... a triple thank dog to Tripawds for making me less insane at least )

Back to seriousness once again -

It should also be noted that Tripawds has been a lifesaver for some, not just a sanity-saver.  Because most dogs love to run so much, when the thought of amputation for one's dog comes up, a person who has never been with a tripawd, especially, can imagine this is a fate worse than death.  After all if running = happiness for a dog and legs = running.  *Gasp* then amputation must be the end of the world!  Or maybe they imagine the pain won't be worth it, or all their friends and family are saying, "Don't make your dog suffer."  Well-meaning people who love their dogs as much of any of us, with all the stress of a diagnosis (whether cancer or injury) and some misconceptions thrown in, can panic or lose hope at times - too early.  Thanks to Jim, Rene and Spirit Jerry though, if they are able to take a deep breath and hop online first, they can now find Tripawds.com and be reassured that three legged dogs can run and play and be just as happy as they were on four legs.  And to top it off, they add so much useful information for caring for one's tripawd long-term and offer ways to cope in style with their tripawd gear and store.  And then there's all of us to offer support also, and we kinda rock too, if I do say so myself.

So don't forget to donate!  This site is soooooooooooooo impawtant.  (Where would we be without the Tripawd's dictionary?)

(Since you "stole" my idea Karen - lol - you don't mind me hijacking your thead to make another donation plug, right? )

Congrats on your pawty too!  Well done, Nor Cal!!!
