I did not do a good job taking pictures this year, but here are a few ones I have:
Mom to Tripawd Angels Jake (2001-2014) and Rosco (2012-2015) and Tripawd Tanner. “Whatever happens tomorrow, we had today; and I'll always remember it”

Clare,
I love the pictures. I can't wait to see how your article turns out. I am sure it will be great. I know I will want to buy a copy of it so please let me know how to get a hold of a copy when it comes out.
I loved the singing video.

ELOZAVETH! Itsq not "quantity" of pictures....it's all a out the quality!!! Thank you so much for sharing these great pics!
And to add to the "name" list, the "porch dog" is my sweet senior adoptee Nellie. Bob was a little more camera shy.
Pretty sure you can spot the Baby Vultures in your own! But do you know which is Vivian and which one is Valentino? Me either!! 🙂
CLARE!!!! OMD!!!! So great! SOOOOO WONDERFUL TO RELIVE THESE MEMORIES WITH SUCH SPECIAL DOGGY SOULS AND HUMAN SOULS!! :-):-)The White House! The truck! Such great "tourist" attractions....never considered the big rig a tourist attraction though!!
Sooooo glad you got the "hoowling pawty"!! 🙂 Yes the chorus was in full swing everytime a distant siren was heard, or if Frankie spotted a squirrel(they taunted him knowing he was leashed)!
But the howling video is proof positive thst the Admin Guy was, indeed,, hiding my tavelt!!! I kept "misplacing" it. As you can vaguely see in the video, I'm searching...searching....and BAM! I spot it!! He would actually beg people..B.E.G. not to help me find it!!
CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE PICS!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
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!

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

OMD! OMC! OMCH! OMRR!
He drives one of those trucks???? Wow! No kidding, they are so beautiful. They are the first thing I noticed about America. My sister took me to NY for a weekend years ago, and I think she found it a little frustrating that I kept going on about the trucks. 'Look, Clare. There's the Statue of Liberty!' 'Yeah, but look at the truck!' Etc. Etc.
Alison and Tina will attest to my obsession. I believe we may have missed the odd freeway exit, when I was supposed to be navigating and got distracted. I have a LOT of photos.
Sally, you have NO idea. You have seen these all your life. You have no idea what it's like to come from the land of flatfaced functional trucks (or lorries, as we call them) and suddenly discover these beautiful beasts, with proper snouts and chrome ears, and a grille for a nose.. okay, I'm going to stop now...

OMD Elizabeth your photos are amazing! I LOVE the one of Nellie on the porch, and the one of Izzy, her mama, and Sally, just stunning.
Clare, thank you so much for labeling yours, you got some wonderful pics as well--so many smiles! You can just feel the love and happiness going on! And the video of the howl fest was awesome, I love all the devil dog eyes! I also have a truck obsession, I love all the colors they come in and all that shiny chrome. Every time we take a road trip I end up taking alot of truck photos 
Sally, where have I been? I had no idea you had another dog besides Myrtle and Frankie! And who is Bob?
Thank you all!!
xoxo,

OMD OMC OMB OMCH Clare LMAO
Yes no kidding that kind of truck his is a freight liner day cab
which means it does not have the sleeper cab like the one in your photo.:) He gets to come home every night.
Mark loves your description 😉

I had to look up Lorries of course he knew what they were. Now I can see why they would catch your eye . Your too funny!
Sally Sweet Nellie looks like a relative of Elsie Pie;)
