These are wonderful photos!!! I planned to take many myself but was so busy chatting that I forgot to play photog. Thank goodness for all of you!
Izzy and I had a lovely time - too short, but that's how it goes some days. We are so glad we came - wish I'd gotten the chance to spend more time together but hope to see everyone again soon!
xoxoxoxox,
Amy & Izzy, too!
(p.s. - Izzy refuses to let me take off her Tripawds bandana . She say's it's the perfect shade of pink to compliment her collar!)
Momma to the world's most beautiful American Bulldog, Izzy!! Lost her front leg to OSA 9/18/15. Diagnosed w MCT in June 2016. Celebrated her 1 year ampuversary with knee surgery on 9/18/16! MCT recurrence in Dec 2016. Happy & hungry til nearly 14, earning her wings on 7/31/17.
I...AM...LOVING...THESE!!!!!

Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!
Yes, Izzy was vorn to wear pink! Actually she and Michelle BOTH were!! It's her color too! 🙂 🙂
Okay, time to start the STARBUCKS PUPPY LATTE PUPPACINO tasting pawty!!
Michelle was our Starvucks Barrista! We made sure, HOPEFULLY, every doggy got a Starbucks Puppy Latte out of their very own Starbucks cup (with a little help from Redi-Whip! This may take days to post 🙂 🙂 🙂

Don t blink or you'll miss it!! Pretty sure this is Wyatt's first and only chance at a Puppy Latte. It might have a calorie in it and that could make him FAT 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

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
