She has been such a blessing in my life and it is such a blessing that I have had this wonderful time with her that I wasn't sure I was going to have. Every day is that much more special because she is still here with us!!! We Love You Sweet Valentina!!!! You are my Baby and always will be. You are the most wonderful Dog I have ever known. Happy 8th Birthday Sweetie!!! Today I am making a mini Thanksgiving dinner and you will get some Turkey!!! Yummmmm!!!!
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 Valentina! 8 is GREAT!!! And turkey dinner is totally pawesome!
Abby, even in her jealousy over the whole turkey thing, sends lots of bday kisses!
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!

Love Never Ends
Oh Happy Hoppy Birthday Valentina!!! Eight is great! Turkey dinner sounds awesome. I love birthdays (but I gotta wait 'till June for mine)
Ranger (and Mom)
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.
