Tiffany is going strong still a little stinker.... Dec 4 th she hits her one year since her limb removal.
Go, Tiffany. Tell your mom to make you a cake for your ampuversary. I loved mine! Jerry posted the recipe again on my pawty page.
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!
YAY Tiffany!
Here's the apple cake recipe, I hope your people make it for you.
You've come a long way pretty girl, congratulations!

Hi Sue and the pretty Tiffany!!
VERY, VERY, VERY HAPPY UPCOMING YEAR AMPVERSARY Sich an nspiration.. such a beacon of hope!! YAAAAAY Tiffany!
Sue, Happy Hannah and I logged on here nine months agao, I remember seeng s e of your early posts. AND, I remember seeng that REMARKABLE video of Tiffany playing on your deck with your other beautiful pup! I remember being blown away by how active and incredibly happy Tiffany was. This was early on n ner recovery and I was really second guessing myself and really thought I'd made a horrible decision. I had the privilege of being "owned" by a Huskey, so I was so pleased to see that Tiffany was not slowed down one bit by he amp.!
Thanks for continuing to share this incredible journey with us and continuing to i spire all of us.....and all future tripawds lurking around the site looking for hope and inspiratin.
AND, when I saw this post tonight, I went back to look at some posts from Tiffinay's journey and I saw where you posted avout the CSU study that four carboplatin treatments were just as effective as six. I KNEW I had seen four was just as good as six SOMEWHERE...but never could find it ...until NOW!
Happy Hannah only jad four. But the ore I was on the site, the ore it seemed that almost everybodh else had five.. The onco. said four was what she "usualy" did.....but I never was cmfortable with her answer.....until I remembered "somewhere" I had seen four was good, etc. Guess I'm trying to say...never doubt that you and tiffany are making differences in our lives by eing here!
This is a HUGE reason to celebrate!! We're gonna' have ice cream and cake and candy at our party for Tiffany!! STANDING OVATIN toyou...to you oth!!
Keep these great updates coming!!
Hugs to you and your pack!
Sally nd Happy Hannah

Christine..... with Franklin in her heart♥
Franklin, he was the Happiest Dog on Three Legs! Diagnosed 09/26/2012 with Osteosarcoma, amputated 12/4/2012. Had a wonderful 5 1/2 months painfree until he ran for the Bridge on 5/15/2013. Always in my heart, and always a guardian angel of my pack... You can follow his Tripawd Adventures, before and after, in my blog, Frank'n'Farter!
Thanks everyone for kind words! To Frankilin, Happy year as well. We will definately keep everyone one up on her continued progress! Seems like it might be time for another video. And to Sally and Hannah, glad you got some good information from my earlier posts. I am excited about the progress I am hearing about in the research and strides towards understanding this cancer.
