How great!
On a separate note...I'm trying to get the hang of the stars in the corner...I clicked them, then my cat bumped my hand...lol & it changed! Â How come I can't change a rating once I put it?
Donna, Glenn & MurphyÂ
Murphy had his right front leg amputated due to histiocytic sarcoma at 7 years old. He survived 4 years, 2 months & 1 week, only to be taken by hemangiosarcoma at 11 1/2 years 6/12/17 Â

Hmmm. Great question and I have no idea. Doh! Where's my geek when I need him?

Yay that is awesome about the jewelry. I can't wait. It is getting closer. Just wish I trusted my a/c in my car better I would love to bring Snickers it would be great for her with her Therapy training. Maybe next year I will have a new car and can bring her.

Very cool about the jewelry!Â
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016.  Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016.  Lung mets August 25, 2016.  Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016.  Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma. Â
Wherever they are, they are together.
Yes very cool about the jewelry. Â Your pieces are always so "inspired" Rene.
Crazy random thought for the day.......Puppy Up should start a Facebook fad similar to the ice bucket challenge: people could video themselves eating a milk bone and donate money to the cause.
I say this only partly in jest....I'm a bit disturbed that my personal friends and relatives appear to be reluctant to donate (after a very unlike-me appeal on fb to them), but they couldn't wait to do the ice bucket challenge for all to see.
Just biding my time for the school fund-raisers sure to come my way.....

Nitro 11 1/2 Â yr old Doberman; right front amp June 2014. Had 6 doses carboplatin, followed by metronomic therapy. Rocked it on 3 legs for over 3 years! My Warrior beat cancer, but couldn't beat old age. He crossed the Bridge peacefully on July 25, 2017, with dignity and on his terms. Â Follow his blog entitled "Doberman's journey"

I am open to either.....maybe the people with dogs should make the decision (Donna????)
But I agree, we should decide soon so we're not scrambling when we get there on Friday. We need to give the locals a plan.

Yep. That's why they call it social MEdia. Ugh.
Try not to be too hard on your family, ours is the same way. They just don't have the connection that we do as pet parents who've been through pet cancer. You either get it or you don't.

Team Tripawds is still the #1 fundraising team for the Wheaton walk. Obviously, a lot can happen in 16 days, but I am still feeling pretty good about our contribution.  Although, for what it is worth, for the past five years I did a walk for a human disease, and I have to admit that what I have been able to raise is less than a third of what I was able to raise before with the same donor base.

Just thought of this folks: you might want to bring a folding char to the event, to be comfy when you're at the booth.
