Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!

Way to WOO!  It's a LUCKY 7 Day (after)!   But we are still celebrating!

Her Retired AvatarComet - 1999 to 2011

She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.

Wooby dooby Woo! You're a tough old broad, aren't you, Rio? And I say that with the greatest of affection (I think you know that.) Congratulations! I think we're having cheeseburgers tonight. Dakota and Evelyn can split one in your honor.

From abandoned puppy to Tripawd Warrior Dude, Dakota became one of the 2011 February Furballs due to STS. Our incredibly sweet friend lived with grace and dignity till he impulsively raced over the Bridge on 12-15-12.

Dakota's thoughtful and erudite blog is at http://shari.tr.....pawds.com/

Yea Rio!

Tell your mom to put your ampuversary date in the signature box- maybe then one of your pink caped sister tripawds could remind your mom so she doesn't forget again!!!

 

In your honor I think I will take the next two weeks off work!!
