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
Happy anniversary you two, many more. So blessed to a small part of your lives!
Paula and Nitro
Nitro 11 1/2 yr old Doberman; right front amp June 2014. Had 6 doses carboplatin, followed by metronomic therapy. Rocked it on 3 legs for over 3 years! My Warrior beat cancer, but couldn't beat old age. He crossed the Bridge peacefully on July 25, 2017, with dignity and on his terms. Follow his blog entitled "Doberman's journey"
"Be good, mama loves you".....run free my beautiful Warrior
Happy Anniversary! Thank you for all you do! Enjoy your special day, Lori, Ty & the gang
TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.
Okay...18 hears together, most of which are spent crammed into tiney RV quarters. Often times they are snowbound for days upon days in tha RV...little food...little water...no contact with the outside world. And they sit side by side often overwrought when computer issues arise and watch each other disintegrate right before their very eyes.
Side by side, 24/7.
18 years?? Heck no! In "normal suburbia married years", that's equal to 300 years!
HAPPY THREE HUNDRED YEAR ANNIVERSARY JIM AND RENE!! Here's to another 300 hundred more!
LOVE!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Happy Anniversary Jim and Rene,
And Sally's reply is so true, you two must be angels to be together so much. My husband retired in March and I'm like "you here again, I need my space" But honestly he has been great. Once again we applaud you two for starting this site and saving many human, cat and dog lives. We are forever grateful, though I would never trade places with you.
Love Penny, Hank, Blink and the Maggie up above
Wow. Wow! Wow! Wow! You are all making me laugh and cry and Jim is sitting here just cracking up too! Thank you. M, you are so sweet, thank you for the shout-out. It's hard to believe so many years have gone by with us. We both know it's Jerry Magic that allows us to be glued together 24/7 and not kill each other! 😉 Thank you so very, very much, it really made our day!
