Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but I had my 4-month ultrasound today, and my momma says the bad guys are winning. I'm super tough (tough enough to beat up my Monkey butt sisters when they need it, and they are bigger than me!), but my momma is super sad. You can read the gory details on her blog, but be forewarned, mom does tend to ramble. Yawn!

Woo, you are a super hero and are my idol. I know you won't stop fighting. You have battled hard against those darn bad guys and i bet they are scared of you, just like the monkeybutts.

Tripawd Girl Power forever sister,
Big kisses, (hey share some of these kisses with your mom, ok?)
Abby

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!

Keep up the fight, Rio.  Knowing you have the support and kick-butt attitude of sooooooooooo many of your tripawds friends will scare those nasty bad guys right out of you!  twisted

Eat some dark leafy veggies, and you'll get really strong.  superstar

Dakota's Poem for The WOO

We ain't scared of no stinkin' cancer

We got Woo, the tripawd's answer!

We don't even need four legs

We can perch on three and beg!

Yeah, there are spots on my ultrasound

But I'm still me, the Woo, the hound!

I'm a pro at this, it's old--I'm bored

What I want is to be adored!

So let's have a pawty with Tosca and Zephyr

Please bring Thelma, our mascot heifer!

I'll make guac; Wyatt make the mojiitos

Ya'll bring Fritos, or maybe Doritos!

Let's be dog and love each day

Never regretting, come what may.

From abandoned puppy to Tripawd Warrior Dude, Dakota became one of the 2011 February Furballs due to STS. Our incredibly sweet friend lived with grace and dignity till he impulsively raced over the Bridge on 12-15-12.

Dakota's thoughtful and erudite blog is at http://shari.tr.....pawds.com/

Rio,

Not only are you super tough, but you have some pug in you (your mom said so), that means you are stubborn and obstinate too!!  Give your mom some extra love so she knows you are alright.

TRI-PUG POWER!!!

OK, a little stretch maybe, but all the pug girls fighting mast cell have to stick together!  You can carry our banner because you are the tallest pug (mix) that we have ever seen!

 

Nice poem Dakota Dawg!
