Murphy celebrated his one year ampuversary today with a cake from Roxy's peanut butter/apple cake recipe.  Gus thinks that we should celebrate every day.

Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!

UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!

I'm not quite sure why the links posted that way, but I guess we can live with it as long as things show up where they are supposed to be.  I probably clicked something twice somewhere along the way.

LOVING THESE PICS AND THE VIDEO!

And loving that the amazing Murphy is celebrating a ONE year ampuversary!! GLORIOUS DAY IN BEAN LAND!!!

The video...OMD!! How cute is that? NO dog behaves that well!! Much less TWO dogs obeying in unison like identical twins!! Well, not exactly identical twins! I could watch this video all day!!

I've been showing it to Happy Hannah so she could understand the concept of STAY and WAIT for her food! I'm on the millionth showing right now...it's not working..yet!! She did get dressed up in her finest for the party though! She even put on a little perfume..."ode' to deer poop #5"...

Here's the card she made for Murphy' MAGNIFICENT CELEBRATION!

Thanks, everyone. Being here in this Tripawds family has made this year go so much better than if we hadn't had all the support. There will be another pawty in February when we celebrate one year with the new hip. BTW, the cake from Roxy's recipe was very simple to make, and obviously they loved it. Not too sure that they actually tasted it, but they did love it.

Thank you, Michelle.

The pawty was fun, the cake was awesome, and now I'm beginning to catch a faint whiff of apple/peanut butter coming from the direction of an old Golden who doesn't often get different things in his dish. LOL!
