Thank you, Tripawd Nation!!
You helped us out so very much when our sweet Kodibear was diagnosed with the dreaded Osteosarcoma. I spent hours reading stories and doing research, and gained invaluable information and tips on how to go forward after heartbreaking news. My husband and I were devastated when we learned about the bone tumor – this dog is our baby, he means so much to us and brings us so much joy. We just adore him.
We’ve just celebrated his 3 month ampuversary and we cherish every moment with him. We are awed by his bravery, strength, and trust in us on a daily basis. It’s a good thing we’ve always smothered him with love cause he gets even more now! This journey has been is difficult at times, but it has also strengthened our bond and continually forces us to live in the moment. I think I’m ready to start writing about it, although it scares me a bit, putting it out there. I will share our story in the hope that it may help someone else facing some tough decisions regarding their furry friend. It meant means so much to me to be able to read about other’s experiences with canine bone cancer, amputation, and beyond. Thank you, Tripawd Nation, for putting it all out there!
More to come…

Here’s a few pics of our sweet guy. He’s a bit fur-challenged, but still rockin’!!
Snow rules!
Sorry, never thought I’d put clothes on this guy, but gosh darn he’s cute in ’em!
Still hittin’ the slopes!
Kodibear and family, thank you so very much for the great update (HOPPY AMPUVERSARY!) and for putting your story out there. As you know, the blogs are so helpful and full of information, they are a comfort to someone just going through this journey, so we are forever indebted that you took the time to write about your experience.
Yes, cancer is awful but it does bring so many unexpected gifts, like teaching us how not to take today for granted, because tomorrow is never a guarantee. Deep down we know that but cancer brings it to the forefront of our lives doesn’t it?
LOVE those photos of Kodi, we look forward to more!
Thank you spirit Jerry and your family for making this wonderful site and keeping it going. You are amazing!!
I will try and write more soon about our journey so far…
We’re right behind you with our babies amputation too!
She too has amazed me with her spirit and light…it’s hard to believe how much she has been through sometimes, she’s came very far in a short period of time.
After my initial post I’ve came to the site but until tonight haven’t posted… I think I like to forget she still has cancer. Like you said, it’s kinda scarey putting it out there.
Here’s to our tripawds & us!
Cheers to that!
I know what you mean – sometimes I like to forget, too and it’s hard to read about what could happen.
Hug your furry valentine and I’ll hug mine. 🙂
