It is beautiful! His piggy blanket and his shoe. Ty before he got sick and Baby Ty all combined. So precious, so Ty. Thank you, thank you, Thank you!!! It is perfect! Lori, Ty & 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.
Lori, I saw Ty's banner last night, and was so overwhelmed with happiness to see his beautiful, happy face looking back at me! And yes, it is a really wonderful grouping of pictures, to illuminate his joyful "Lab-ness" ....... So happy for you and him to be remembered always! Thanks for everything you do here!
Love,
Bonnie, Angel Polly, and new crew
It IS perfect!!!! I've seen it a couple of times now and it captures so much of who Ty ks! And knowing his shoe fetish makes it all the more special!
I still get an extra couple of beats in my heart and an audible "awww.." when I see Happy Hannah (and her food bowl fetish)
All banners are soooooo special and have such love behind each one. We all "know" the depth of love, the joy, the heartache, the pride and the unbreakable bond we have all formed with each other as a result. And because of that bond, when I see banners of SHELBY, TY, POLLY, MAGGIE, LIBBY, SASSY, BRENDOL, MURPHY, GUS, FRANKLIN, SNOOP, TAHOE, ROXIE, okay...gotta stop nami g now....but so many others whose lives have touched us and have given us the best friendships with each other!
We love you Lori and Ty!
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!
Awwweee . . . can't wait to see it! xoxo
Harmony became a Tripawd on 10/21/14 (MCT). She left us way too soon on 11/1/14.

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
Can't wait to see Ty pop up when I'm on Tripawds!! I have no doubt he will bring a smile to my face when I finally see it...
