sunday was our first every morris animal foundation k9 cancer walk here in knoxville.  the weather was great, and the turnout was unbelievable!!  gayle got a little tired, but was a trooper thru the whole afternoon of visiting and excitement.  sam is still trying to add up all the new butts he got to sniff, it was nirvana for him!!  gayle and i won an award, for being the largest individual fund raisers for the event (thanks in part to so many of our generous tripawd friends and family!!).  here we all are after the walk.

  of course, once we got home, serious medicinal napping was called for!!!

Life is good, so very, very good!!! Gayle enjoyed each and every moment of each and every wonderful day (naps included).  She left this world December 12, 2011 – off on a new adventure.

Good weather, butt sniffing and awards! Sounds like a pawesome day!

We definitely had a great time at the one we did here in SD back in Feb. Glad you had a fun time.

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!

That is a great picture of you guys! Hope Gayle recuperated quickly from her exhausting day of fame. I'm very proud you guys got an award for money raised. That just makes it truly a special day.

Sam….

We could be best friends if your ET (Extremely Terrified of Monkeydogs) family would let you come to the dark side.  I don't know what a squirrel  is because we don't have any but I'm game to helping you chase them!  (I hear you are very good at it)  We can even sniff monkeybutts together!
