Hello all,
I just had to share this with you as we’re peachy pleased over here in Montreal (despite the freezing cold!).
I posted this in the Discussion Forums as well, but as you may have noticed on Cooper’s blog I am a major shutterbug when it comes to taking pictures of the two tripawds Cooper and Cinta and our Golden Colby. So last week I started an Instagram account for them, @coopercravescarrots, as a means to share pictures with my god-daughters who love them and don’t find they see them enough.
You can follow and/or see their pictures here:

Then early this week, Cooper, Colby and Cinta’s story was chosen to be featured on FuzFeed.com as part of their #PawsForThought and #AdoptDontShop campaigns!

Following this, Cooper and the pack’s story got picked up by PetsPlusUs who shared it on their social media feeds on both FaceBook and Twitter! You can see the posts here, they were both posted today:

I love that they were featured as part of an Adopt Don’t Shop campaign and that the story puts a spin on rescuing dogs with stories (and two tripawds)! It also talk to Cooper’s being a certified therapy dog with Therapeutic Paws of Canada – it is so inspiring to see the effect he has when we go on visits. He has great success with our groups of seriously handicapped children and adults, as well as with the crisis center for homeless men, and we have also started going to a new drug rehabilitation program. They see him as an example of living in the present, forgetting your past, forgiving and getting on with life.
Go tripawds!
Had to share this with all of you!
Hugs from Montreal xo
Oh my gosh, what inspiring stories. I love your furry family! The first thing I noticed about Colby and Cooper is that they have such expressive eyes. Thanks for the links and great advice on adopting.

Thanks Kerren and Mona!

Hugs from Montreal!
These pictures take my breath away…really!! And this is just a “hobby”?

Imw abaolutely blown away by your skill…AND…their amazing journeys. Thank goD they found you…and you found them!
Lots of love to all!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!
Really there is no better way than a loveable, pawesome, strong Tripawd like Cooper and Cinta (and yes you too Colby!) to show humans that our problems are really so minor in the big scheme of things. Thanks for spreading the message, it’s an honor to have you in the community!
Thanks so much Jerry and Sally for your messages!
Sally, believe me if I could combine two things that I love (animals and photography) into my profession I would! Thinking about it for the future! Though not to take all of thencredit, with gorgeous ‘subjects’ such as Cooper, Cinta and Colby around it makes taking great pictures easier :)! I love your videos and picture of Franklin and Myrtle! Isn’t it amazing how they bonded so quickly and so beautifully! Love it! It’s always such a pleasure to read your posts and see the pictures! Has he given you the Coonhound bay? :)!
Jerry, thanks for all of oyjr support, warm welcome when I joined, and for finding me on Instagram :)! Have happily followed the super @tripawdscommunity account 🙂
I love that there seem to be quite a few tripawds there! The more of us that show the world, through rescuing, making visible, providing support such as through this web site for cancer, injury and other tripawds… The more the world sees how amazing these animals are and how it really is great to hop on three legs!
Cheers and hugs from slightly warmer Montreal!
