Gah! I hit reply before I finished...
I just want to add that you've been such an inspawration since you joined us Murphy. Your very unique and incredible challenges were never seen here at Tripawds before you came along, and we can't thank you and your people for taking time to be here and show us how you overcame such incredible odds. What an amazing story that's already given so much hope to others.
While every Tripawd represents hope and courage and inspires us to live better lives, you are definitely one of a kind kiddo! We are so proud of you and honored to be part of your journey.

Hoppy, Hoppy 1 year Murphy! Yay for you beautiful boy! Keep up the good work.
Liberty (Libby) was diagnosed with OSA on 1-22-13. Right front amputation on 1-31-13. No IV Chemo. Metronomic Therapy started 2-19-13 along with supplements and some home cooking. Lungs clear until 1-06-14. She's still her happy, hoppy, bossy self. Living the dog life to the fullest and a proud Winter Warrior. :) RIP my Libby 4-21-03 to 3-19-14
Yes Jerry!! EXACTLY!! E.X.A.C.T.L.Y
And thanks for re-posting the link to Sweet Roxy's cake! I'm thinking maybe it's the CAKE thats making Murphy and Gus do the 'STAY---WAIT' thing.

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!
Happy 1 year Ampuversay to Murphy
Love the pics--enjoy every second!!
Joan and Lily
Our beautiful Lily was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her front leg on 12/14/11 at age 8 and had amp on 12/16/11. She completed 5 rounds of carbo. She was so brave and kicked cancer's butt daily! She lived life fully for 4 years, 3 months, and 15 days after her amp. My angel is a warrior princess. I miss her so much.
Happy One Year Murphy!! You are an awesome boy, and an inspiration to all!! Here's to many, many more!!!
