Hello all! It’s finally time for me to share our story …
My husband and I have been pet parents to Nico for 12 years. In fact, she just celebrated her 12th birthday on May 5! In Feb. 2009, just a month after we wed, Nico was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her front right leg; just six days later she became a tripawd. For all of you going thru the decision-making or post-amp processes, my heart feels for you … it is tremendously difficult and gut-wrenching at times. We have celebrated 2 years, 2 months, and 4 days with our girl. I have loved every single minute.
Things are not going so well just now. She has severe degenerative joint disease in both hocks, her left elbow, left shoulder, and changes in her vertebrae. We are seeing a pain management specialist, continuing to take her swimming, and appreciating every moment we have with her. I will fill in the blanks over the next few days but wanted to share a b-day pic of us … 
Thank you for sharing Nico’s story! We look forward to hearing the details of her two-year survival.
