As we role into a new year, I put together this tribute to celebrate our furry heroes. I know for me, Jill has taught me the true meaning of being brave.
I SINCERELY apologize that I couldn't get every one of our tripawd heroes in the video - I couldn't find a picture of everyone!
I hope you enjoy!!!
Jill is a 9-year-old tuxedo kitty. She was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in June 2012 on her toe in her right hind leg. Her leg was amputated on 12/12/12 and she completed four rounds of chemo (2 of Carbo, 2 of Doxy) in April 2013.

Wow Erica, that was a tearjerker! Especially when I saw Maggie. That was very sweet and considerate of you to make this video. Thanks for all your encouragement to all of us through this journey

Beautiful video, Erika.
Thanks for the thoughtfulness you demonstrated while highlighting the pride we all show in our tripawd warriors and princesses!

That was amazing, Erica. I was surprised to see how many of our heroes I recognized by sight. So many of them in the last year (almost). Thank you so much for doing this for us.
Kathi and Murphy
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!
Last night before midnight our time, I was brought tears by this incredible video. What an amazing, awesome way to end our year and start a new one. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts, you moved us beyond words with this tribute.

A very beautiful video. I am still crying over it. There are a lot of awesome dogs & kitties in this video and a lot that aren't here anymore. What a way to honor everyone. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for including Sassy.

Thank you, thank you - it was beautiful and came from the heart (a very big heart!!). It was a perfect way to celebrate all our warriors. You had both me and my husband teary eyed.
Happy New Year!!!

Sure hope everyone comes to view this...your blog is already down, but I responded over there.
Just want to add, as far as concerns for any you may have left out, each face on here represents the face of all tripawds, past, present and future. we are all one.
You did an absolutely stellar job Erica, just stellar. An incredible gift you have given. 
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!
Oh, Erica. What a beautiful thing. It's a good thing hardly anyone is here at work, since I'm now all weepy in my office <3 Thank you for making this.
