3 months after loosing our Tripawd, Oreo and 6 months after losing her sister/litter mate/best friend, Cookie we are still struggling with the pain of loss this year. But I am so grateful for the time I had with these sweet dogs, and for the comfort I received from this community! I love reading the […]

I feel like a zombie. Constantly wandering around, spontaneously bursting into tears, and sobbing from this hole in my heart. Just 6 months ago, it seemed both my dogs were perfectly healthy. I had just recovered from a broken back and looked forward to jogging with the girls again. Now, loneliness. Nothing left except beautiful, […]

Tiff can’t speak. Too painful. Brave little dog. Will miss her so much! Hole in our hearts. Woke up after ‘sleeping’ by her side last night. She could not walk…. Oreo: Spent the day, having a walk in the stroller, a short wade in the pond, being petted and mushed over, some delicious salmon (no […]

Pain. Heartbreaking. On Monday I tried to get Oreo to sing her typical “Blue Moon” with me to find she had completely lost her voice! I know we are down to only a few days now. She has made the down turn fast: trouble getting up, difficulty walking,  and now losing her voice! I found […]

Hooking up the trailer to go camping. The Oreo is too excited. In July we went camping and Oreo sat by the trailer for an hour while we loaded it up. She wanted to make sure we did not leave her behind. This time she sat on the grass, whimpering (don’t leave me behind!), until […]

A good, fun day! Spent the day with tiff and jared. So many people at the park, petting my ears. Several peeps came up to me and said they had a tripawd, too. I hope they get to have fun days, too. I love to ride in my stroller when I get tired: I really […]

The Oreo has not had a very good week. She has been lethargic and unable to walk far, let alone run the way she had been weeks previously. She always has had a weak hind end and some neurological problems but, this week she has been unsteady on her feet. Then we had the vet […]

The Oreo took off down the paved path on Monday. I could barely keep up with her! She went about 1/4 mile before she seemed to think, “I’ve got to hop all the way back ‘cuz Tiff did not bring my stroller.”             We did not get much sleep last […]

I assume we have all been there. “There” being in the presence of “them” (the judges). At the pond today one guy said to me, “it always makes me sad to see a dog who has lost their leg…” I said to this guy: “you should not be sad for The Oreo is sooooooooo happy […]

I love dress up. Put something new on me and I’ll strut around until I make you laugh, then I will ham it up all the more. Tiff gave me a new harness today. She says it is so she can help me up stairs and up my ramp – which she says works beautifully. […]
