I'm having Fannie May chocolates — definitely more than one — in Dakota's honor. It lifts my heart that he is celebrating today ...

Smilin' Sammy, March 16, 2004 – Dec. 5, 2011
Golden retriever, diagnosed with osteosarcoma in September 2010 — right front leg amputated November 2010. He fought valiantly to stay with us; but a second diagnosis of osteosarcoma, this time in his left front leg, was more than our golden warrior could overcome. He loved his pack — and everyone else he met.
We loved him even more.
Thanks for the pennies, Sammy. They helped.
Well D Dawg...You know how we like to cheer for you!
3 treats at this house...one for each feb fur ball in our club!
And only cause your woman keeps us on task!
Tell Dakota to keep up the good work! The months seem to go so slowly at first and now they seem to fly by. Enjoy each and everyone of them.
Rusty and I will share a In 'N Out burger; not sure about your choice of treats.
Chuck & Rusty
Rusty is a Labradoodle who was diagnosed with level 3 Fibrosarcoma on January 16th, 2010 and had his left hind leg amputated on January 25th, 2010 five days before his 18 month birthday. Please see Rusty's blog @rusty.tripawds.com. He is putting up one heck of a fight against this terrible disease.
Happy Ampuversary Dakota! Cadence likes "Litterbox Special" if she can get it but we will refrain from serving that on this 10 month milestone. 
We have homemade dog icecream in our freezer to celebrate. Congratulations!! You look great!

I'm late to this party but I have been fresh out of rabbit poop and rotten carcasses anyways. Well done, Dakota. What a sweetheart of a face - so like my Riley. Perpetually smiley. Lovely pic.
I'll give him a cookie in Dakota's honor.
