Today is Jilly Bean's 11 month ampuversary! One more month until the BIG ONE!
Jill is a 9-year-old tuxedo kitty. She was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in June 2012 on her toe in her right hind leg. Her leg was amputated on 12/12/12 and she completed four rounds of chemo (2 of Carbo, 2 of Doxy) in April 2013. "Like" Jill's facebook page: https://www.fac.....tty?ref=hl Proud member of the WINTER WARRIORS!!!! Her blog can be read at http://jillsjou.....ipawds.com. xoxo
Yippee, Jilly Bean!!! Hoppy Eleventh!
Love, Murphy
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!
WOOT! WOOT!
Everyone take today off and dance in the streets, it's a GREAT DAY!!
Jill what a fantastic kitty you are and your Momma's pretty incredible too. Thank you for all you've done here throughout the last 11 months, you've opened our eyes up to all things cat and have brought so many great people and animals to this community. You touch more people than you can ever imagine and it's an honor to be a part of your celebration!!!! CONGRATS!!

Franklin, he was the Happiest Dog on Three Legs! Diagnosed 09/26/2012 with Osteosarcoma, amputated 12/4/2012. Had a wonderful 5 1/2 months painfree until he ran for the Bridge on 5/15/2013. Always in my heart, and always a guardian angel of my pack... You can follow his Tripawd Adventures, before and after, in my blog, Frank'n'Farter!
Happy 11 month ampuversary Jill! And to your mom, Erica too.
These last months have been a roller coaster of emotions but you are one fine looking specimen of beautiful tripawd feline!
