Today we feel so blessed to be able to post that we are celebrating another ampuversary with our girl. 14 months, we feel we have been given a miracle.
Tasha is continuing to be this wonderful, funny , happy and active girl. We wondered so many months ago if living life on 3 legs would some how break her spirit, if she would be depressed, even different in her personality, truthfully it has changed her some, Tasha since her surgery has become so much more loving and happy. She just loves life in a way that she never did before. We are so proud of her and feel very blessed that we have been given another ampuversary to celebrate with her. Today Tasha celebrates 14 months with a hamburger, ice cream, hugs, tummy pets and just so much love. Yes, we are so blessed.

This is so great to hear! Pawrents often fear that their Tripawd's pawsonality will change for the worse after surgery, so knowing that Tasha continues to be joyful and hoppy even 14 months later is so wonderful, and hopeful to those just going through this.
Tasha, 14 months is indeed a miracle! Congratulations to you, amazing girl, we are celebrating right there with ya!

14 months is amazing!!!! I hope someday we can celebrate such a wondeful ampuversary! Keep it up Miss Tasha!
-Chloe's mom
Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog
Once again Tasha, I'm running out of superlatives for you! But you already know that I think YOU ARE SUPER!
So, I'll sing you a song instead:
♫ ♫ ♫
♫ Tasha is a trucker tripawd with 14 months under her belt,
She the coolest trucker dog because she has lots of tripawd svelte! ♫
♫ And if you ever see her going down the road in her trucker tripawd fleet,
Pass her by with a wave and smile and be sure to toss her a treat! ♫
♫ ♫ ♫
...and many more.....
your pal, Comet
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.
Happy 14, Tasha. You are inspirational - I know a lot of dogs that would love to roll on down the road the way you do. Love hearing your stories!
Celebrate, beautiful girl, you deserve it!

How great!!!! Congrats to you, Tasha!
Zack will have some cheese tonight in your honor.
Zack, King of Dogs, 1996 to 2010
Zack lived a full 14 years, even to the end.
The joy and memories he provided us will last a lifetime.
Surviving him is his sister, Izzy, a 12-year-old boxer mix quadpawd.
And the latest addition, Zula, an 11-month-old pit bull mix tripawd.
Yay, Tasha! You are such an inspawration for us!!! You ROCK! Holly and Zuzu are clamoring for some extra treats to celebrate... what's that? Cheese? Ice cream? Both!!!
Better run and give in to their demands... they want to pawty with you!
Hugs,
Holly, Zuzu and Susan 
Holly joined the world of tripawds on 12/29/2009. She has a big little sister, Zuzu, who idolizes Holly and tries to make all of her toys into tripawds in Holly's honor. And she's enjoying life one hop at a time!

Sending lots of golden hugs,
Kami, Mackenzie & Kobe
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!
