Hey, everypawdy! Holly celebrated her 11 month ampuversary on Monday! I can't believe it has taken me until today to share this milestone - I was so excited about it all weekend and then got caught up at work.
Anyway, our cheerful girl has been celebrating for a few days now - and is encouraging all of her friends to join in and get some cheese and ice cream to help her celebrate!
We are so blessed to have her with us - shared some happy tears with her on Sunday as we talked about the past 11 months and how well she's done! And we are also so blessed to have found tripawds - this road is much easier (and even fun at times!) with all of you here with us.
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!

Life is good, so very, very good!!! Gayle enjoyed each and every moment of each and every wonderful day (naps included). She left this world December 12, 2011 – off on a new adventure.
Love Never Ends
Holly,
We started the celebration prior to this posting with the full knowledge that you would eventually find the time to let us know just how great you celebrated. That is the way to keep these priorities straight!! Stay extra snuggled down during the cold and make sure that you have your one year ampuversary celebration planning well along. Extra Huggs, Extra Playtime (where it is warm), Special Treats, and our staple of Cheese and Ice Cream. Some day you might want to try Trouble's Green Beans. Dad has a way of fixing them that is great - in the pressure cooker with a few slices of onion and ham.
Sending pawsitive thoughts from all the family,
Spirit Cherry
Happy 11 month ampuversary Holly! We are so happy and to proud of you as you celebrated 11 months. Keep on being such an inspiriration to us.

Way to go!!! I love to see someone beat the odds with that crap, Big Paws up, Spirit Gus and Dan
My buddy Gus had a left front amputation on April 7, 2010 and lived a great life until July 26,2010
Woohoo Holly! You're sneaking up on that 1 year mark. Totally awesome! Glad you had a whole weekend to celebrate and hope you did some really fun stuff while mom shed a few tears. (I know how she feels, it gets a bit overwhelming sometimes).
You are such a cutie. Can't wait to see that big '12' come around next month.

Cheese and ice cream (separately, because the combination kind of grosses me out, even though Catie and Riley don't give a hoot) coming up!
Wishing you many, many, many more!

Miss Holly Hoppy 11 month ampuversary!!! Chloe and Holly are exactly 7 months apart! We just celebrated her 4 month ampuversay on Monday too!!! We had a double celebration called "Thanksfourgiving".
We hope Miss Jolly Holly continues to do well!!! Almost at 1 year!
-Chloe's mom
Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog
Well, well, well...what can I say? Here it is 11 months later and yet I remember first seeing your terrier monkey style face and thinking to myself, "Oh no. Not another monkeybutt!". But I found out very quickly that you were the total opposite! Your Jolly Holly by Golly personality came right through! And that's when I knew we'd be BFF's!
So, here's to your special day! I shall unwrap my cheese stick and raise it high and proud and make a cheese stick toast to Jolly Holly by Golly!
(Oh, and tell your mom to hurry up! - She's got 28 days before your one year ampuversary! She'll know what I mean.)
Comet
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Congratulations, Holly, on your awesome accomplishment!
Zack, King of Dogs, 1996 to 2010
Zack lived a full 14 years, even to the end.
The joy and memories he provided us will last a lifetime.
Surviving him is his sister, Izzy, a 12-year-old boxer mix quadpawd.
And the latest addition, Zula, an 11-month-old pit bull mix tripawd.
