Bruiser’s Debut!

Last night I celebrated my 30th birthday at home with some friends. Before we found out Bruiser had Osteosarcoma, my husband had planned a birthday dinner for me with friends at a restaurant followed by drinks at a bar. After the diagnosis and amputation, I knew all I wanted to do for my birthday was spend time with Bruiser. Here is a photo of Bruiser (his first  pic since his amputation) and his loyal servants (myself and my husband). I am so happy I have this day with Bruiser.
