My Tripawd Family

My best friend and big toe, Biff, passed his final exam with flying carpets on November 15, 2018 at 5:35pm CST.  Later, I will share details of his final months, how I tried to make decisions, and how brave and cheerful he was right up to the end.  For now, here is a link to pictures via fb with loving comments from many of his fans.  My deepest thanks to the Tripawds community.  It will be a little bit before I find a new dog, but when I do I will certainly share with all of you.  Thanks for everything!!

May 2016 trip to Mammoth Cave NP with Penny.

Hilda, Penny, and Biff enjoy a lovely fall day at the park.  🙂

Biff’s recent surgery has renewed his stamina and enthusiasm for walks and park visits.  Yay Biff!

Here are Hilda and Penny, tripawd best friends enjoying a sunny day walk at Prophetstown State Park 🙂

Hilda came to live with us last Saturday. She loves her new home and is very cuddly! Penny and Hilda are both missing their left hind leg, and they are about the same size. Nobody knows how Hilda lost her leg, because she was a stray before coming to the shelter. Hilda is having a great time playing with her new sister, Penny, and she is learning to go on family walks. Penny and Hilda play and play, which is great because then Biff gets to sit back and watch them rather than put up with relentless pestering from Penny. Everybody is so happy that Hilda is with us 🙂

Penny is at the top with the grey harness, and Hilda is below with the black saddle markings. Happy sisters!

A fun (but brief) game of tug!
