Otis, an 8 year old 106 lb. lab/Dane mix, became a Tripawd on February 9, 2016 after his right front leg broke due to osteosarcoma. We did 4 rounds of carboplatin, but lung mets were discovered on Agust 25, and he passed on September 4. Otis was half of a bonded pair, and his adopted sister Tess, passed suddenly of hemangiosarcoma on October 9. The day before Tess passed, a local lab rescue group had identfied Gator, a 120 pound 6 year old yellow in need of a home, as a potential companion for her. His picture was on my phone, and my house needed a dog. . .

This blog has gone to the cats. . .

Ok, we are cats, and we have four legs, and that might be against your stupid human rules, but we are cats and we don’t care. . .

Cats?  What cats?   There are no cats here.

 

Cats are smarter than does, or at least they read more books.

Tessie’s blog,

Hi, this is Tess.  It has been a couple of weeks since I became an only dog (the cats don’t count).  Here is what I have been up to. . .

 

All of the toys are mine, but I think they kind of where anyway. Just have to find a human now if I want to play.

The bed is all mine, but I don't take up very much room so my mom sleeps here too. And sometimes a cat.

I get to take more walks, which I love!

But, I really don't like being alone during the day, and I absolutely do not like going outside alone. I know my mom is looking for a companion for me. . .hopefully, she will find someone I like soon!
