It has been 3 months today since I lost my leg, heck I didn't need that thing anyway. I can run, jump, chase a rabbit or even a cat that gets into my yard. My mom says I lost a leg but found my voice. Ok, I admit it I am one spoiled dog. I give out one of my famous whooofs and I get my tummy petted and I love that, sometimes if I am outside I give out one of my whooofs if I feel alone and someone comes out to be with me, I guess I get almost anything I want when I give out one of those whooofs. Life is good for me and I am loving my life. So today I celebrate 3 months with 3 legs and what could be better than that.

Tasha lost her battle and became my Angel on May 4 2011. Forever in my heart….
Horray for that three month mark. You sound a lot like Trouble, she found her voice after surgery also. Now all these months later, whenever she wants anything - attention, food, outside, etc she woofs and Mom gets to figure out what she readly wants.
I hope to read many, many more great ampuversary updates for Tasha.

Hoppy ampuversary Tasha! Keep on keepin' on ... 🙂

Happy Ampuversary, Tasha! You are super and are showing the world that dogs do just fine without that extra leg in the way 🙂 WOOOOOHOOO! Keep those ampuversaries a comin'!

Way to go Tasha- happy ampuversary!!!
Maggie also found a voice after her surgery- but she does this grunt thing. Have you ever seen Mel Brook's Young Frankenstien?? She sounds just like the monster

Rock and ROLL TASHA!!!! YEAH!!! Congrats! YIPPIE!!! Super 
You keep showing us all how it's done 
You know...we do work the amputation thing pretty well don't we? I got WAY more spoiling and attention (if that was even possible). Mom always said that I could do no wrong in her eyes...but I was a good boy, I didn't take TOO much advantage of that (hee hee)
Keep it up and we wish you many, many, many more hoppy ampuversaries!!
