Hoppy Howlidays Everyone, from Dane Mom Sue and her "Tripawd Dane Deer" Nova! This site has been such a blessing to us and we are so thankful for all the advice and support for Nova since her amputation on 11/11/08. As a special holiday treat, Nova wanted to share a Christmas song we wrote together (sing to the tune of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer")

You know Tazzie and Titan and Buster and Cherry…
Zeus and Calamity, Kali and Jerry…

But do you recall….

The goofiest big dog Tripawd of all?

Nova, the Tripawd Dane-Deer
Gets around on just 3 paws
To her, the gift of living
Is the best gift from Santa Claus

Three legs took some getting used to
Nova’d often hang her big head
Even some jerk at the Doctor
Thought she should go to Heaven instead

Losing a leg is not so sad
Nova would say it ain’t half bad
More treats and snacks are coming her way
Lots of loving and snuggling every day

All of the other Tripawds
Cheer her on with big “Hoorays!”
Nova, the Tripawd Dane-Deer,
You’ll have many, many more days!

Come visit us anytime on Nova's blog for an update on her health and lots of pictures: http://www.trip.....ogspot.com
