Guardian of Manni the Wonderdog. -Or was it the other way around?
Osteo and amputation in Dec 2015. Second, inoperable, primary osteosarcoma found in June 2017.
The end of our adventures came Dec 10, 2017. 2 years to the day.

and apparently it is really exhausting not having me around (others would say differently...) because this is now:
love you all!!!

Tina those are some awesome pictures. Thank you so much for sharing them. Brought lots of smiles as I looked at them. Lots and lots of good memories that is for sure. I will always treasure meeting everyone of the people that came to the party. Epic doesn't even describe it in my mind. I can't come up with a word that would just describe all those feelings. Can't wait to post my pictures.

Oh Tina!!! Thank you for sharing so many photos!!! I did not do a great job of taking photos so I am going to "borrow" for my own personal album that I keep to remember these experiences! Such great photos!!! Love them all!
I am trying SO hard to write Shelby's blog so I can capture and forever remember the experience ... it's hard since epic, like M said, seems like it can't even describe it.

And LOVE sweet Manni snoozing ...

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
Great pics Tina! I didn't get enough pics at the party, so I was happy to see these. I always seem to get too wrapped up in the moment and forget to take them - good thing I'm not a photographer by trade! The days went by way too fast, in a blur really.
I think Manni is quietly reflecting on his joy at having you home.
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

What great photos Tina! Thank you so much for sharing. It's always fun to see another person's perspective from an event.
Holly & Purrkins, there are so many members in these photos I'm not sure where we would begin to start adding names to each one but I'll try to remember to add names to ours.

Here's a video of the attempt made to herd this group into some order:
I found it entertaining but it takes all kinds.

Right rear leg amp 7/12/16 due to OSA. Metastatic lesion on her right front leg, January 2017. Joined the Winter Warriors January 19, 2017. Run free my sweet girl.
That's great Teri!!! I am still so pleased and perhaps amazed at how well all those dogs did! And on leashes too which can be harder when they are tethered! So fun!

Yaaaaay! We're not sick of 'em yet, oh no! So keep 'em coming and yes, names are great bc I wanna be sure I know who each and every one of you is! I have to say it brought tears of happiness to my eyes to see these pics and videos of people I know and love online but who have primarily been faceless until now!
❤️❤️❤️
