Just like everyone else I can't believe it has been a month. Sometimes it feels like a year, so many intense moments have gone by. Some moments it feels like it still hasn't happened. I get suprised when I look over and see how real it all is.
I am so happy to have found this place and all you wonderful people. Thanks for the support and the cheers for each good step that Sammy has made. Thanks too for being there in the moments that seem to hard to bear alone.
Yea Sammy!
Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in the right front leg 8/23/10,

Happy 1 Month Ampuversary Smiling Sammy!! That's pawesome! We will be celebrating with you of course with lots of treats, ice cream and cheese. (And just tell your mom that it only gets better from here). Here's to many, many more ampuversaries and celebrations! Way to go Sammy! 
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
Wow! One month already? That went fast. Congrats, and may you have many, many more years of ampuversaries! We'll have ice cream tonight in celebration.

Smiling Sammy is making everyone smile these days! CONGRATS, CONGRATS, CONGRATS!
It just seems like yesterday, we were wondering if mom needed a paper sack to breathe into from all of the hyper-ventilating! 
(In fairness, we all go through it and then we have a good chuckle later! Your time is coming when you get to try to calm a new tripawd pawrent down!)
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
We hope you celebrate many, many more ampuversaries!!
