Jake, 10yr old golden retriever (fractured his front right leg on 9/1, bone biopsy revealed osteosarcoma on 9/10, amputation on 9/17) and his family Marguerite, Jacques and Wolfie, 5yr old german shepherd and the newest addition to the family, Nala, a 7mth old Bengal mix kittie. Jake lost his battle on 11/9/2009, almost 8 weeks after his surgery. We will never forget our sweet golden angel… http://jakesjou.....ipawds.com ….. CANCER SUCKS!
It is really hard because all the dogs are so cute but my vote goes to Maximutt with the hot dog!
Debra & Angel Emily
Debra & Emily, a five year old doberman mix, who was diagnosed with an osteosaecoma. She had a right rear leg amputation on May 19, 2009. On November 10, 2009 she earned her wings and regained her fourth leg.
You are so totally aloud to vote for your own pup! 🙂 I vote for Jake’s great smile. What the heck is on his head?
I know this picture wasn’t officially entered, but I vote for the picture of Cherry that is in the Tripawds.com header. It makes me smile every time I see it … looks like she has Don King hair. Love it!
-Gwen & Harley
Amputation on 11/10/09, due to Histiocytic Sarcoma in left elbow. Angel Harley earned his wings on 06/24/10.
I think we could allow that. Our hero Spirit Cherry must have had something to do with making it show up!
We think ALL Tripawds are winners, but this time out, the funniest photo contest winner is . . . .
Maximutt!







Ok Spirit Max, tell your peeps to keep an eye out for a Tripawd calendar coming soon in the mail.
Thanks to everyone for taking the time to enter photos and vote!
Tripawds Rule!
It's better to hop on three legs than to limp on four.™

Well, this is an honor indeed! Thank you to everyone who voted for our boy, and thank you to everyone for being the great pawrents that you are to all of our Tripawd Heroes. If there was one thing that could get my boy to have an extremely goofy look on his face, it was the moment right before some random piece of meat was about to go down his gullet. The Tripawd Calendar will occupy a place of honor in our home.
