The song plays 3 times, but that's what happens when you try to narrow down 900 pictures LOL; and, I couldn't imagine this with any other song. Without further adieu:

Nicely done, Elizabeth; perfect day and perfect song!  Can't believe you put that together so fast.  Thank you all for the tributes - the leash especially is such a powerful symbol of this community; I'm so glad you had it there.

Woo hoo!! What great fun! Wish we could have been there.

And Miss Myrtle...YOU ARE HUGE!! Somehow unless you can see a photo for size comparison, you think a puppy is little. Obviously not so.

Kathi and Murphy

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!

Awesome job Elizabeth. It looks like you all had a wonderful time.  I talked to Sally and she said it was a blast.  Next time I will try to come from Iowa.  (Maybe not with Snickers but will try to make an appearance).  I posted some videos that Sally took on the other post I made for her. 

 

900 pictures these were awesome so I can imagine what the others look like.  Awesome pictures & great job

 

Hugs & love

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
