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.
I have a new word to add to the Tripawd dictionary:
Pawday
Pronunciation: pô/dā
Function: noun
Etymology:
Early Tripawdish, from paw, meaning dog foot, and day, a period marked by the rotation of the earth on its axis.
1. The anniversary of the loss of a leg, and therefore a paw.
2. A day when each Tripawd Hero is honored and bestowed with many beef products, squeaky toys, and tennis balls.
3. Synonym for ampuversary

impawster (n) – A monkeydog pretending to be a Tripawd, either for attention or in an attempt to infiltrate the ranks of the righteous.
How about "Onpawlogist". Ex: when Cadence goes for her Chemo, she sees the "Onpawlogist." 
Cadence Faye: Born 10/30/04, stepped into our hearts 12/23/2004. Rear leg tumor found 7/24/11 by mom and dad, Xray on 7/25/11, Osteosarcoma suspected 7/26/11, amputation 7/29/11, Carboplatin started 8/23. Met free so far!
