I was so busy today that I didn't have much time to celebrate but tomorrow I will let her play outside for an extra long time. Going outside is her favorite thing to do besides eat!! And every day is a reason to celebrate my wonderful Tripawd!!!!!! I Love You Soooo Much Valentina My Sweet Girl!!! 
Valentina Angel Dane diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in front left leg May 21st 2011. Amputation July 5th 2011.
DOB:11/3/03 DOD:2/3/12 . Valentina was the Love of my Life!!! There is nothing like a Dane!!!
Hooray for 4 months! You guys had a rough start, so I'm really glad to be able to wish you a happy, hoppy 4 month ampuversary!
Here's to many more!
Jackie, Abby's mom
Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
Happy four months big girl!!! You are doing great.
The pugs are also snoring now so we will have some breakfast treats in your honor tomorrow.

Love Never Ends
Awwwww! Happy 4 months! Way to pull through Valentina and make your mommy so happy!
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.
Valentina, you rock! Happy Ampuversary and many, many more!!!
Ranger and Lisa
Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.
