I’m sitting here wearing my new float coat waiting to go swimming. I don’t mind wearing my float coat in the house because my mommy gives me lots of duck treats when I sit here and just look handsome! My mommy stayed up way too late last night trying to find a safe place […]

One thing I have learned from this unwanted OS journey is that our dogs live in the moment. Charley is still the same happy labby boy we knew before his amputation, only minus a leg. To be honest, there are days when my hubby and I forget he only has 3 legs. Charley reminds […]

I had so much fun at the park with my Mommy & Daddy last October (2010). Some of my mommy’s friends were taking my pictures….I’m not sure why, but I got lots of extra treats. The best part was when they took my leash off and I took off running down to the skate park […]

My mommy had me donate my DNA (my blood and and tumor sample) to the Canine Hereditary Cancer Consortium (CHCC) through the Van Andel Institute. My DNA was donated to help with canine cancer research so hopefully one day there will be a cure for human and canine cancer and no person or dog will […]

My husband and I knew we wanted to get a chocolate Labrador retriever puppy and we spend a lot of time researching breeders. When the litter of 8 chocolate lab puppies was born, we had the pick of the litter for a male puppy. When the puppies were 5 weeks old, my husband and I […]

I went swimming for the first time last weekend and it was as a tripawd! My mommy and daddy were worried….my mommy said there could be things hiding in the water and my daddy thought I would just swim in circles because I only have one front leg. I proved them wrong again!!! Tripawds can […]
