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
Thanks! They were a blast to make, and we're going to sport the costumes at our local Bark In the Park next weekend!! Yea we actually had a really bad run of shark attacks over here on the Carolina coast this past summer, I think we had around 10 or more in a span of 2 months, very scary stuff.

Domino had his left front leg amputate on May 13th 2014 after being hit by a car. He's now living a happy healthy life on three legs :)

THESE ARE ALL SO BRILLIANTLY DONE!!! I'm absolutely grinning ear to ear!!!
Let's see, I think I left off with Gus...aka Billy Bob Thornton.
Moving on to SEBASTIAN!!! A D O R A B L E!!!!!!! And the look in Sebastian's face...OMC!! I'm surprised he didn't try and eat the camera! The outfit that "Grandma" made is out of this world cute!!! I agree with Jerry, she needs to market this! It is sooooo precious!!!! Sebastian is a very loved kitty!!
And then we have the dynamic duo of TANNER and MILO NAPOLEON!!! CUTE beyond words!!!! I know the skill it probably took to get Milo to hold still long enough to keep the hood on his head...PLUS, sit till next to Tanner!! Trying to keep Merry Myrtle's Starbucks cap on her head was impossible also! Tanner is such a pro at modeling clothes. And I LOVE the sweet little squint he gives to the camera! PRICELESS PHOTOS !!!
CAAAAAASIEEEEEEE!!! OOOOOOMMMMMDDDDDDDD!!!!! LMAO!!!! Spectacular job!!! Absolutely brilliant!!! This needs to be put on TV somewhere....really!!! And getting Domino in the surfboard....getting Finn to hold still in his shark attire..INCREDIBLE!!! Offended??? R U kidding!! We are PROUD to know someone so hysterically funny and creative!!!
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!
Oh gosh! And TEAM RUGER!! For him to sit still long enough for a photo in all that DELIGHTFULL attire.....STANDING OVATION!!! Very, very creative!!! Well done!!!!!! I agree with Jerry though, the picture doesn't really depoct exactly who he is portraying! Doesn't really matter because it is outstanding!!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!

These costumes are all fabulous. Each one is so joyful.
Now I have to say that getting a photo of a cat in a costume is close to impossible. Sebastian is very impressive. And then Sally got those kitty cats to pose as Merry Myrtles Starbuck's customers going through the drive through. I suspect Merry Myrtle ate all the lattes before the cats even had a chance to order.
I had a lot of laughs going through these photos. Everyone's a winner!

Kerren! You have know idea how hard I tried to get a photo WITHOUT the "kitty customers"! They were determined to get some kitty latte!
Off subject...have you submitted a photomof Mona for the calendar? Hope so..if not, we have to have Mona in the calendar!

I can't tell all y'all how much this subject has warmed my heart. This has been so much fun!!!
Harmony became a Tripawd on 10/21/14 (MCT). She left us way too soon on 11/1/14.

Here's our sweet girl Goldie! She will always be our little Wonder Woman, she is so amazing! We adopted Goldie about 7 weeks ago and she is the light of our lives. My husband will dress up as Captain America, I will be Batgirl and our Goldie girl is Wonder Woman! Love Halloween!
GOLDIE! You are THE sweetest Wonder Woman EVER!!! And then add that smile and your paw in your human's hand....the biggest AWWWWWWWWW times a gazillion!!
And thanks for adopting Goldie and giving her a wonderful home!!

I'm just catching up and laughing my head off. First Gus with his dental "issues", then Sebastian and his crocheted(?) leg, Count Dracula and Frankenstein (knew Elizabeth would come through), and Domino as a shark attack victim. Don't worry about offending anyone, remember I did the Pope and a nun last year, that's really pushing it but we tripawd lovers have a very warped mind and we are proud of it. Love Wonder Woman and the mystery dog with the monkey on his back. Let's keep the smiles coming.

The shark and surfer combo... DYING. Love it! So many awesome costumes!
On the not-so-creative front, Nicholas will be doing the Superman (cat?) thing this year. I subjected him to a Superman costume as a kitten, and was ridiculously excited to find these things on the sale rack at Petsmart, haha. We will also have a Wonder Woman, Spiderman, and two Batmans (it was the only superhero costume that fit the guinea pig, and in this house EVERYBODY gets in on the Halloween fun... though some are more enthused than others).
