Molly J, 12 5/6 years old and 12 days post amp, decided this morning that she'd had enough time lying around and feeling lethargic. For the first time in a couple of weeks, she asked me to play Rope with her. We only played for a few minutes, as I didn't want her to tire or injure herself. But it was so fantastic to see my girl have some energy again. 
Way to go Molly J!!!! We know you're not done with life yet!! Keep getting stronger so you can play lots more with your mom and rope!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
Yay Molly J! You made your momma so happy today. Not much better than the joy in those puppy dog eyes when they are playing.
Karma, Adelaide and the crew, and our special angel Brendol
Adelaide is a young tripawd Husky, from an injury. Her amp was on 10/1/12. She has 4 sisters, Aissa (a senior border collie/chow), Maggie May (a puppy Great Pyrenees), Mathilde and Morrigan and 1 baby brother, Bagheera. We are all watched over by our angel Brendol, who was dx with OSA 1/30/13, amp on 2/6/13, and left us on 8/20/13.
