Sounds like Debbie and Donna will be introducing Henry and Murphy to each other soon
Henry is ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!! Look at the cute face!! Henry, you are melting my heart!
You keep those cute photos coming, okay?
Hugs to all!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
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!
Thanks Pam, Sally, Christine, Kerren and Donna. Love the support and kind words from everyone. It would be great if our babies could meet other tripawds and see they are not alone. Although, I'm pretty sure they don't notice any difference and it's just us who think about it.
I'm finally going to blog about Henry's experience. I think it will be therapeutic for me and hopefully it will bring some comfort to someone going through or about to go through the process. I'm so glad I found this community.
Deb
Hi Deb, Henry's adorable! You are so fitting in here at the tripawds worry-wart club! Get used to it, it will be a way of life for from now on. I find things to worry about on a daily basis with my Dobe Nitro. He also has some excess skin puckering around the incision, but now, 2 years later, its totally gone. I see you're in Michigan.....we're across the lake in Green Bay. I'm always excited when I find members that are "close by".
Paula and Nitro
Nitro 11 1/2 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. Follow his blog entitled "Doberman's journey"
"Be good, mama loves you".....run free my beautiful Warrior
Western suburbs of Chicago.
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.
Wherever they are, they are together.
