Can't figure out how to post a photo, but I had a cake shaped like my head and a party at the vet and a hamburger and ice cream and peanut butter!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
Wow, that's so great! Happy Birthday and Hoppy Ampuversary Ajax!!! 
If you have your pictures hosted someplace like photobucket, then you can insert them here by using that button ^ that looks like a mountain. At photobucket, you go to the one that says 'direct' copy the link, come here, click the mountain & insert into your post. 🙂

On October 27, 2016, nearly 6 months after amputation, and 18 months since his cancer likely started, we lost Pofi to a recurrence of Soft Tissue Sarcoma in his spine quite suddenly. His canine sister also succumbed to cancer on March 1, 2019 - we lavished her with our love in the interim, but life was never quite the same without her only real canine friend. Cliff kitty had to leave us, too, suddenly, in August 2019. Lucia kitty grieved all these losses, but helped us welcome two new Lurchers into our home and our lives, Shae and Barley.
ROCK STAR!!!!!!! INSPIRATION!!!!!!!! BEACON OF HOPE!!!!!!!!!
HAPPY SIX YEAR AMPUVERSARY!!
