We’ve recently received some wonderful words of appreciation and encouragement from new users in the Tripawd Discussion Forums. But the real thanks goes out to you, our registered users and three-legged dog lovers.

It has been over a year since we launched this site to help others facing the difficult decision of amputation for their pet. Since then, the Tripawds community has grown incredibly. Your contributions to the forums have made this site the valuable resource it has become. And those who have donated to the cause using our PayPal button went beyond the call of duty. For that, I thank you.

Check out the dancing dog video we made especially for you to show our appreciation, and learn how to make your own …

Tribute to Daisy: Making Sense of Saying Goodbye

May 23, 2008 by betaman

Two weeks ago as I was leaving New Mexico, my pawrents and I started traveling north to meet my Tripawd friend Daisy. We’d never met in person, but we were being treated by the same oncologist in Santa Fe. We had already missed meeting each other at the clinic by one day, so now we were finally going to get to play.

Sadly, we crossed paths one more time, but still didn’t get to meet. At the exact time were traveling northbound toward Antonito, where we would meet up with Daisy in a couple of days, Daisy and her parents were traveling south, on the same road. Only it was a very sad trip for them. See, the cancer had recently gotten the best of Daisy, and her health was rapidly deteriorating. Her Mom, LeeAnn, had to make the difficult decision to help Daisy across the rainbow bridge. She and Daisy were driving to the vet’s office at the same time, on the same road, that we were on.

My Visit From Spirit Dog

May 16, 2008 by betaman

Before my recent appointment in Santa Fe, we camped out overnight in the parking lot of Rancho de las Golandrinas.

My people checked out the vast living history museum during the day while I gladly rested in the rig. This was just fine with me really, considering I didn’t care for the canon fire from the civil war reenactment going on!

But we did meet some new friends who worked there and arranged for us to stay overnight. And that evening, we were visited by Spirit Dog.

Are we not dog?

April 10, 2008 by betaman

Ever since Jim heard the Big Dog talk about his daily mantra for Malcolm, he’s been thinking up one to keep my tail wagging every day.

After Malcolm’s osteosarcoma metastasized, Luke would wake him every morning with a resounding “we will never give up” … and now, Jim has proven his age by adapting some of his favorite Devo lyrics:

We shall attack this day with vigor vim vitality and punch!

And as they say … you know that’s pep! But I just tell him, Duh. That’s how we dogs greet everyday anyway. Does this look like I’m about to let a little thing like cancer let me down?
