We could all use some smiles and I hope these video help make that happen!
Sooooo...we go to my regular vet today and I decide to video it AND to ask my vet to video some with Happy Hannah and I together. Thanks to Michelle, realized I didn't have any pictures/videos of Happy Hannah and I together.
And that's where the fun begns! He's WORSE than I am at using this tablet thing as a camera!! Clearly he's one of those "Apple" people.....kept trying to find a "view finder"! Not to be found with my tablet! View finders are for sissys! It's much more fun to point the tavlet at your subject without being able to see it!
So some of these are "out takes" as he's trying to figure out how to use this! I was laughing so hard tears were rolling down!
But you'll see why she's fat...er...fatter
He's the culprit!
These are all short.....and Happy Hannah and I are actually together in some!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
DARN! Couldn't get these in the right order......wanted you to see him strugglng trying to take the videos as the first clips.......oh well!
The vet tech is one of her favorites...look at her tail wagging.

Oh the lovely Miss Happy Hannah....
Your videos are what is needed for the soul today 
You clearly love the vet, the vet tech and, of course, your Mama best of all.
Tuck and I have viewed these videos several times already and we agree with your Mom....the vet made you gain weight.
Thanks to both of you Sally and Happy Hannah. Happy Hannah is clearly loved and is loving.....and is a heroine in the tripawd nation.
Many hugs to both of you
Linda and Tucker
Awwww, she's not fat! She's just a lovely curvy girl 
What a good patient!
She's curvy and big-boned, not fat!
Love love love seeing your smile and hearing your laughter Sally, and of course Hannah steals the show as always! Thanks for sharing, we sure needed to see this!

Oh, those were so fun! Hannah's not fat...she's fluffy! Sally, Michelle got me thinking too. I have no pictures of myself with Libby. We took some this weekend and I can see I'm fluffy!
Liberty (Libby) was diagnosed with OSA on 1-22-13. Right front amputation on 1-31-13. No IV Chemo. Metronomic Therapy started 2-19-13 along with supplements and some home cooking. Lungs clear until 1-06-14. She's still her happy, hoppy, bossy self. Living the dog life to the fullest and a proud Winter Warrior. :) RIP my Libby 4-21-03 to 3-19-14
Love the videos!! And Hannah is definitely happy AND gorgeous!! Spoiling our fur-babies is perfectly acceptable, we just want them as happy as possible every single day.....thanks for posting these wonderful, uplifting videos of your amazing girl!!
Here's to many more happy days ahead for us all.......!!

Miss Hannah! You've been taking Turbotail lessons from Murphy!!! We LOOOOVE our Hannah!
Kathi and 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!
LOVED seeing you both!!! IT's nice to put faces with names! I agree with all that has been said, she's fluffy and big boned! Shelby has gotten chunky (and frankly so has mama - sympathy weight?) so we're both boot-camping it right now.
But literally ... my smile was a mile wide seeing these happy , happy videos!!! Hannah is an amazingly happy girl and you can't even tell she's a tripawd. She is, right? I love the tail wagging!!!
So CHEERS Happy Hannah ... here's to many more great vet visits and happy treats!!!
XOXO

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
OMG i am laughing so hard I have tears rolling down my face!! these are AWESOME!!!! I wanna come play!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jill is a 9-year-old tuxedo kitty. She was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in June 2012 on her toe in her right hind leg. Her leg was amputated on 12/12/12 and she completed four rounds of chemo (2 of Carbo, 2 of Doxy) in April 2013.

Sally,
I haven't been on the site much but was so glad to put a face on the Sally we all know and love. Although I was getting some vertigo from some of the clips but you really know how to have fun at the vets office. I wouldn't say Hannah was a big girl but I do have a saddle that would fit her and was wondering if I could borrow her for my next parade?? Kisses and smooches 
Penny, Blink and Spirit Maggie
