My people would like to thank the nice folks at Ruffwear for sending me their new Web Master harness to try out.
And they’d like to tell you that it is now available for purchase right here at tripawds.com! They’ve been using the Web Master to help me get around since I became a canine amputee. And we all agree the new harness has various improvements.
Keep reading to see our product review and the demonstration video we produced. (more…)
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?
Darren from ProBlogger.net compiled the results from over 30 other (human) bloggers in this mashup of Why I Blog videos. And while I have lots of fun three-legged dog movies, this is my first that gets up close and personal. Perhaps we’ll do more.
It seems like I always have a camera in my face. Especially lately, but more about that later. My people have so many pictures of me … but they say it will never be enough.

Oh, you humans and your silly ways of thinking. You’re always talking about the past and the future, but how many of you are experiencing the moment you and your dog are in right now?
All week long my Mom’s been saying dumb thinks like “I shouldda done this…or that..” She seems to think she did something wrong these last 14 and a half months, and that’s why my cancer came back. She was “shouldding” all over herself, until she got this story about coping with canine cancer, sent to her from my friend Moose’s dad, Joel.
. . . I realized my fear of the disease was the fuel that was being used against me. Devilishly clever, my biggest enemy was not the disease, but me. I was the power source being used to generate the very negative energy destroying my own being and wasting a special day with my beloved dog.
This paradoxical contradiction was glaring. I had thought the growing presence of disease was causing my mounting fear. In fact, just the opposite was occurring. My daily increasing fear was causing the disease to grow and become more powerful. I decided it was high time to start working for me and the Beez, not against us.
If your pawrents are coping with your cancer, then you need to take them to Doug’s website. He has a lot of beautiful words there that will make them happy and sad, but most importantly, will get them to live every precious moment with you to the fullest, instead of acting like a silly human and fretting about your health. Good luck!
It featured us on a beautiful, dreamy beach. As in her dreams. Like I said. Isn’t she sweet? And cute too. But she’s a bit for away, unfortunately. And I must have been in everyone’s dreams lately.
I’m always chasing rabbits while I sleep with one eye open. But Jim barely slept the night before we left Los Angeles. I entered his dream to help him out. But here’s how he tells it …
I went to the County Line Animal Hospital in La Habra today for a refill on my heartworm medicine since we’ll be on the road and off the beaten path for at least the next six months. While we were there, the nice vet convinced my people to get some x-rays of my chest.
Jim and René have always said they would rather not know if my osteosarcoma had returned or metastasized in my lungs. They believed I would let them know if the cancer came back if and when the time came. But the doctor recommended x-rays because he believes “it is better to know than to not know” … so, they agreed and I went through with it for them.
At the 2 Dogs 2000 Miles kickoff cookout we had in Austin, I finally got to meet Hudson and Murphy. And my people had a chance to throw a few questions at the Big Dog about their journey to find a cure for canine cancer…
The weather forecast in Austin is looking pretty nasty for Saturday. As much fun as all that mud would be for us dogs, my people and the Big Dog have made a change of plans.
The 2 Dogs 2000 Miles Kickoff BBQ Party has been rescheduled for this Sunday, Feb. 17. We’ll still gather in Zilker Park’s Pecan Grove picnic area. And it will still be from 1:00 - 6:00.
We have also heard from a few other tripawds who plan to be there. Tell a friend! See y’all there …
