Today is Holly's 3 month ampuversary! She has started the celebration by having some beef with her breakfast, and is telling all you tripawds out there to ask your owners for extra treats today to help her celebrate! 🙂 She'll be at her friend Ernie's this week (he's a handsome yellow lab - they love to sit on his back porch and study the squirrels), as her peeps are taking a break from Chicago to get some sunshine. Of course, it's supposed to be almost as warm in Chicago this week as in Florida! Go figure.
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!

Grateful for every moment we had with Paris…..no regrets!
Honoring her life by opening our hearts & home to Addy!
Happy ampuversary Little Miss Jolly Holly BG! Count 'em 1, 2, 3! 3 Big Months! Hooray!
I'm sorry you'll be with Ernie all week and we won't hear from you. But come back with lots of stories, okay?
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.
Holly,
What wonderful news! Three big months and we could not be happier. Sounds like your big day is off to a great start and we hope that you will get to celebrate with some ICE CREAM (always my favorite way to celebrate.) These milestones are so very great and never miss an oppertunity to celebrate. I understand what you mean about squirrels - they would sit on my back fence, flicking their tail, and driving me crazy. Dad lived in the Rogers Park area while going to school at Northwestern, but I have never had the oppertunity to visit.
Enjoy your visit to Flordia - I hope that you are away from the stormy weather they are having there right now.
Hi Holly -- Happy Ampuversary!! We can certainly join you in your celebration with the extra treats. We love ampuversaries!!
Mary and Cemil (and the others--they get to celebrate too)
Cemil and mom Mary, Mujde and Radzi….appreciating and enjoying Today
Way to go Holly!!!! You deserve to have treats and get pampered all day long for this great milestone!!!
Sending you a huge pat and hug from your new friend across the border!

Mackenzie
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
Woo Hoo, Holly! Three months is a great time, the recovery is behind you and you're starting to get the pawrents to relax. Hope to see you here for a celebration in three more, and three more and .......

Hoppy Ampuversary, Holly! We didn't realize it at the time, but we squeezed in a trip to the dog park after work this evening in honor of your big day 
Congratulations!!!
Gerry has been a tripawd since 12/16/2009.
