YAAAAAAAAAAY!
Made my day!! No, wait! ...my week! No, wait!.......my year! Oh heck.....this is just the best video ever!!!
Yoyr momtried to momic you in her posting...and she did you proud......vut there is NOTHING li,e the real thing!!
Liz, this is one happy, joyful, tail wagging girl! She is soooooop beautiful!! Tnis just has me grinning ear to ear! And it's put an extra little pitter patter in my neart to!
Just scrolled backup to watch it for the third tkme! it gets better each time! And it's funny, I "visualized" her voice being deeper, but she has a very pretty higher pitched tone that's prettier than Whitney Houston's.....and Roxie sings "drug free" too 
Happy Hannah keeps pricking up her ears (and each one weighs five punds so that's hard work) and I think she wants to sing alng!
This just makes it a delightful day over here in tripawd land!
ROO ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ROO ROOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Loving from us toyou!
Sally and Happy Hannah
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!
aROOOOOOOOOO! LOOOOOOVE her!

ACL tear in right hind leg 12/5/12 and scheduled ACL repair surgery 12/21/12. Pre-op xrays revealed osteosarcoma. Amputation 12/28/12. Chemo (carboplatin) started Jan 10, 2013 and ended on April 5, for a total of 5 doses. He handled carbo like a champ! No side effects. We started metronomic therapy at his third chemo and have been also doing some holistic treatments. He's a lively, playful 10 year old huskie-boarder collie and a very proud member of the Winter Warriors! Our love. Our funny little guy!
Aroooooooooooooo Back Roxie

And just like magic HRH is on YouTube!!!! That Jerry sure does get around. Roxie is honored to be among all those GSD's.
Auntie Sally, you're right; her voice used to be deeper. We used to do some lengthy duets but she hasn't the wind for it anymore. If she'd had a human voice I've always imagined she'd sound just like Julia Child. Sort of has the same build.
From all accounts she had a great 12th barkday on Sunday; so many activities we didn't even post that day! Mostly food-related, but that works. From pancakes & syrup at breakfast to pizza crusts with dinner. And a nice, long cruise in the car followed by a big ol' pawty at night. I sent Jerry the link to the pawty video but not sure it went ok; trying a couple of file transfer sites (now THAT's scary). I made apple cheddar pupcakes to go with her ice cream and there were cinna-bone biscuits, too. We sang to her and she had her framed pic from H Hannah next to her throne. All in all a grand day for a grand girl.
And tomorrow I'll pick up more Rimadyl because as of right now she's not going anywhere. Overdid a little out on a walk tonight but she seems to be just fine now (leftover pupcakes & IC work wonders) sigh. 
Liz and Roo
OMD! We gt so excited over here about her ROO ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOing, we forgot about her barkday pawty!! TWELVE YEAR "YOUNG" TRIPAWD.......we call that a miracle 'round here!!
Wait! I've gotta go put Happy Hannah outside before I type the next sentence......somehow she can smell the scent of food when I type high caloric words and she tries to eat the co puter!
Apple cheddar pancakes! 
Cinna-bone biscuits! Pizza crust! Now tat's a birthday fit for Royalty!! Oh, that's right! She is HRH Roxie!!
I'm glad Happy Hannah's "feel l better duck picture" is still emitting healing powers! That Roxie is one determined girl with a real determined mom and dad and a sweet brother Smokey! Yeah, co e n, admit it.....you and Smokey like each other a lot!
Wait! Liz! What's this "transferring files" crap? You aren't turning into one of those computer geeks are you? I've actually been backsliding in my endeavors to become the next Stevie Jobs......can't see pictures on posts other people can....can't even see the ones I've already "embedded" and coud see just a few days ago! Do ya' think if I learn now to "transfer files" it'll all come back to me?
CANNOT wait to see tje birthday video! That Roxie is such a pretty subject. Oh.....that's right......you're her subject and she's the Queen!!

This is a great birthday! This video is one of those "happh tears" kind!
I love the cocked head look when you brought out that little musical thing! She is soooooo cute and soooooo pretty! Didn't like that stinkin' birthday cap though, did she? Smokey was able to "paw" his off too when you went to get the music toy!
Roxie didn't take her eyes off you for o e second when you were plating jer food. I think watching helps get her hngry juices flowing!
She dedinitely gives the appearance of Royalty sitting on her throne while all her loyal servants are waiting on her hand and paw! Good for you Roxie!
Doesn't your heart just swell with pride everytime you see her picture? Tripawds make our dogs movie stars!
Thanks for sharing this fun and uplidting video! Certainly makes us all smile!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET ROXIE! ROO ROOOOOOOOOOOO ROO ROOOOOOOOOOOO! Now, these aren't your usual Roo Rooooos for Roxie.....these have twelve Os for her twelfth birthday......and many more to come
Hugs and love,

"You aren't doing it TO her, you are doing it FOR her. Give her a chance at life."
Thanks once again to Jerry for bringing Roxie to a wider audience...in the words of Captain Jack Sparrow: "There'll be no living with her now". That stuffed cake with the birthday song has a long tradition of annoying our dogs and cats (and their Dad) and making their Mom very happy. Simple pleasures.... Spirit Logan used to wait for that thing to come out and steal it the first chance he got...always chomped down too hard, though, so I could track it from the music before he killed the sound.
I left a message for the onco today to let her know that Roxie's still holding her own, and to ask if she had any ideas for donating the unused Palladia. Before she called me back she talked to their office manager, who agreed to refund me for the unused pills (28 days worth out of the original 30 - nearly $500!!!!) Yikes! I hadn't expected that, and must have thanked her 50 times. She said they usually wouldn't refund the cost, but they're sensitive to how expensive this drug is so made the exception. Just need to drop them off and a check will be ready. I just hope this doesn't mean they won't be putting a neon flashing sign out on our dedicated parking space. Haven't had the nerve to add up how much this has all cost for the survey Jerry started, but the invoices and test results have stuffed a binder, so it's not chump change. Onco was thrilled that she's still doing so well and agreed that she's one tough old broad. (Roxie, not the onco...heheheh).
And I came home today to the almost-finished renovated back deck. Roxie's ramp is installed (she test-drove it tonight), and tomorrow he'll finish the railings, so another goal reached - I was pretty sure she'd pass before the ramp was done. Gonna have a little brass plaque made for it that says, of course, "Roxie's Ramp". Smokey just jumps from the ground, over the steps, onto the top level. Gonna save that $500 for the deductible for his future ACL surgery.
So another day to say thanks and prayers upstairs and wish peace and blessings to my Tripawds friends.
-Liz and Roo
Peace and blessings to Miss Roxie Roo Roo and all of your pack too, what a pawesome update! That is really so cool your vet worked with you on the Palladia return, talk about a sympathetic and understanding vet. Wow.
