They really do ... Jasper took to them too! In fact, I do suspect she misses them quite a bit ... especially now that I have done my laundry! 🙂

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife

Awww, well please tell Jasper I miss her too, and I am so impressed by how well she handled all the many new experiences of the weekend.  Even the mousetrap! I thought she was amazing, really, but then she has a pretty amazing Mum.

As for 'calm, reassuring energy'... someone should try telling Meg that, the mardy mutt.

Ruby, Staffy, born June 2022, became a Tripawd, 20 November 2023, adopted 12 January 2024.

Also Angel Tripawd Meg (aka The Megastar), who died in April 2023, aged 14, after seven glorious years on three, and Angel Staffies Pie and Bille. In the pawprints of giants...

If you have a Manni at home the one thing you learn is calm... because anything else is just such a profound waste of one's energy...

I love the pictures Michelle, yours turned out way better than mine.

I miss you people, I am still sad that I didn't get to meet some of you, I miss your dogs, I still wish I really HAD taken Merry Miss Myrtle on the the seat next to me on the plane and I am now trying to figure out the route that I would have to go across the States to see all of you again....hmmmm....way-confused

Tina, I'm pretty sure if you came back, people would come to you! It's only fair ... just getting to the States is a long journey!

Love all the photos and am SO GLAD you all did a great job documenting. Izzy's oncologist asked me to send along the pictures of her from the party so Sally, you may become a Raleigh area celebrity! Everyone loves the photo of us with Izzy in her party hat!

Thank you ALL for a wonderful visit!!!

Miss your smiling face.

Can you spot 15 yr young Aissa politely licking her Puppy Latte???Look closely.....you can see two happy eyes dancing with delight and a slight glimpse of a frosty muzzle:-) 🙂 Such a sweet gal in Karma's pack. She just takes it all in stride 🙂

Aww thanks for posting Aissa's video Sally.  This was most likely my sweet girls last road trip.  But it was also right at her 15th birthday and she got to see the ocean for the first time as well.  She did so good on the trip and had such a great time.

Karma, Adelaide, Aissa, Maggie May and always with our angel Brendol

Adelaide is a young tripawd Husky, from an injury.  Her amp was on 10/1/12.  She has 4 sisters, Aissa (a senior border collie/chow), Maggie May (a puppy Great Pyrenees), Mathilde and Morrigan and 1 baby brother, Bagheera.  We are all watched over by our angel Brendol, who was dx with OSA 1/30/13, amp on 2/6/13, and left us on 8/20/13.
