Oh Mary... I love the fact that you are keeping your chin up, and celebrating each moment you have left with your sweetie.
You are in our thoughts and prayers... ALL the time now! Thanks so much taking the time to post an update.
Dane Licks and Leans,
Nova and mom Sue
Dane Mom Sue at nova.tripawds.com and Mom to Beautiful Great Dane Queen Nova, a Blind Tripawd, who kicked cancer's butt from 11/08-03/13. The Queen is Spirit Nova now, but her legacy lives on here at Tripawds!
Caira Sue doesn't live with the same calendar the vet does. She will cross the Bridge when she is ready. Celebrate her feeling better. She looks so good on her video and so full of life! I am not using that term lightly, please know that. She really was having a good time being alive.
My prayers are with you and Caira Sue. May she defeat the odds and bless you for more times to come.
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 right Debra. That's what we've always loved about her. She has always run through life with a big grin on her face shouting "I"m a DOOOOOOOOGGGGGGG!!!!!" She is so happy to be who she is.
May 2001-Jan 21, 2010.....I'm a dog and I'm AWESOME!..... Always.
We are so happy to hear Caira Sue is keeping cool. Sounds like you guys are too! Thanks for sharing your calm, balanced outlook with the pack here. Thank you also for the herbal info, tags have been added.

Dear Mary, Adam, and Amazon Caira Sue: We are so glad the girl is home and finding joy in life. And that you are able to find some joy too during such heartbreaking days. She is definitely telling you she has some life in her. My daughter Greta loved the video! Now she can not decide who is cuter---Caira Sue, Spirit Cherry in her purple sweater, or Travis Ray (she has a big crush on that boy!).
We are sending you all our love. Take care, Eve and Romeo
Hi Caira Sue and Caira Sue's Mom -
We're keeping you in our thoughts and in our hearts this week. So, so happy that the fever broke and that Caira Sue was able to romp again today!
Holly and Holly's mom
Holly joined the world of tripawds on 12/29/2009. She has a big little sister, Zuzu, who idolizes Holly and tries to make all of her toys into tripawds in Holly's honor. And she's enjoying life one hop at a time!

Way to go, Caira Sue! Gerry is dreaming of romping with you, since he's not allowed to romp with anyone until his stitches are out... again. Take good care of your pawrents!!
Gerry has been a tripawd since 12/16/2009.
He was a shelter dog with a mysterious past and an irrepairable knee injury.
Videos and pics of Gerry's pawesomeness can be found at: http://gerry.tripawds.com
You are certainly a girl after Yoda's own heart, Caira Sue. If for no other reason, because of your deep love of tennis balls!
Live it up!!!
Yoda&Mom united: 9/5/06 …….… Yoda&Leg separated: 6/5/09……… Yoda&Leg reunited: 10/14/09 ……… ……………….………….………….……. Yoda&Mom NEVER separated! …………………….….……....….…… Though Spirit Yoda currently free-lances as a rabbit hunting instructor for tripawds nationwide
Caira Sue, you never stop amazing us. Your happy day puts smiles on all of our faces!
Mary, you are too funny posting Adam's email address here. Ok, we're all going to badger him now for updates.
As for the herbs, I believe this is the first time they've been mentioned on Tripawds, so thank you for starting that conversation. Thanks to the tags that my Dad added, we can now come back to this info if we need to again.
Keep on keepin on Caira Sue, you blow us away with your strength and resilience! May tomorrow be another great day.

Very uplifting!! I so glad for you! Thanks for keeping up updated!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Miss Caira Sue, we could all learn from you about living in the moment, expressing unbridled joy, kissing the ones we love while we have them with us, sharing life's ups and downs, and choosing life over suffering. Thank you for rallying and giving your pawrents more time with their beloved girl.
Living in the moment is a very foreign concept to us humans, but our furry babies master this so well.
Caira Sue is a good role model. I wish her and her mom well, I am rooting for both of you!
Be strong. Hugs!
Every day you have left with Caira Sue is precious... so enjoy every moment. Obviously, Caira Sue is doing just that! She is kicking this cancer's but every step of the way!
Just love her, kiss her, cuddle with her... and let her run around and play with her tennis ball as much as she wants to...
My thoughts and prayers are with you all... and I'm hoping that Caira Sue can kick cancer's butt one more time!!!

Mary and Adam- I'm sending strong, positive and peaceful thoughts your way.
Caira Sue is a powerful teacher.
