Ooo, I do love great head-shots. The third one down from the top is great---lovely out of focus background and you can even tell he's a tripawd (if you know where to look).
Active 10+ Pyr mix suddenly came up lame with ACL tear in left rear leg. Scheduled for a TPLO but final pre-op x-rays indicated a small suspicious area, possibly OSA, which could have caused the ACL tear. Surgeon opened the knee for TPLO but found soft bone. Biopsy came back positive for OSA. Became a Tripawd 9/18/14. Carbo6 with Cerenia and Fluids. Pain free and living in the moment. Crossed the Bridge on 7/12/15 after probable spread of cancer to her cervical spine. A whole lifetime of memories squeezed into 10 months. Here's her story: Eloise
Just got pics of Jake, Tanner and Roscoe to you via email! Been on a "tavlet" the past week or so, almost missed the deadline
Mom to Tripawd Angels Jake (2001-2014) and Rosco (2012-2015) and Tripawd Tanner. “Whatever happens tomorrow, we had today; and I'll always remember it”

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 :)
Got it, thanks!

This is Meia. She lost her back, right leg. It's hard to capture it because she's always lying down or sitting on it and usually when she is up my hands are full with a toy or a leash and her four legged sister is with us. I also need to make it a vow to start taking more landscape photos as I never do anymore since I've switched more to taking them with my phone than camera. I'm still new to this site and figuring everything out so I'm not sure if I'm even doing this right but it doesn't matter because this site is making a world of difference for me being able to help Meia out and that's all I can ask.

Hey folks, we only have ONE Tripawd Kitty photo for the calendars! Isn't that crazy?
We will extend the calendar deadline for one week, just for Tripawd kitties. Please send your print-ready photos asap, we would love to show that we are indeed a cats & dogs community! Deadline will now be Halloween for cats only.

Unfortunately all I have are crappy pics from my phone 🙁 this is the largest image I have so thought I'd post it in case it works!...might be good for the month of december (Jill's amputation month!!)
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.
