Life & Times of Codie Rae, Tripawd Girldog Extraordinaire
Amid storm clouds, thunder, and lightning, panicked residents fled in terror as a Swamp Thing rose from the depths of an Oaktown backyard today. One woman missing, several injured as swamp creature rampages through the neighborhood. Police and fire department at a loss as to how to stop it. Mayor urges residents to shelter in place.
Canine cancer, particularly osteosarcoma, is something that has touched all of our lives in this amazing community, so once again the Tripawd Nation is forming a team to walk in support or memory of our best friends. An estimated 50 percent of all dogs will battle cancer. It is the No. 1 cause of death in dogs over the age of 2. Tripawds members know only too well the heartache and fear that comes with a cancer diagnosis. But we also know the joy that comes as we learn to live in the here and now with our best friends and experience the love that we share here in this incredible community. Please join us at the Los Gatos K9 Cancer Walk as we raise money for Morris Animal Foundation to help find a cure for this awful disease.
We have some big pawprints to fill after Mr T. (aka Tripod the Golden One) brought down the house in San Diego last month! Please join our team and attend the walk in April–we would LOVE to see you there! If you can’t make it in person you can walk with us virtually by making a donation through Team Tripawds to help create a brighter future for tripawds and all animals battling cancer.
Team Tripawds will have a table at the event, we’ll be showing the Tripawds Tribute Leash, and we hope to have some other fun things cooked up by then to help educate folks about tripawds. There will be numerous other vendors as well. Let’s show Los Gatos ‘It’s better to hop on three legs than limp on four!’

Today I celebrated my lucky #7 ampuversary……With my very first ever FLYING DUTCHMAN (Travis sez thanks to our most beautiful Abby)!!! Wooohoooo what a PAWTAY! Celebrating 7 glorious years as a tripawd! Celebrating not getting pts’d (what ever that is). You can see how close I came! Lucky for me somepawdy at the shelter thought I was sweet (whatever that is)….and the lady that called on 8/1? That turned out to be my Mom!
Feel free to celebrate with me any old time! Everypawdy tell your pawrents…….Flying Dutchmans for ALL!!!!!!

Can’t wait for 3/3/13!! So here’s my short tail…..
I am Codie Rae, I rule the Oaktown Pack with an iron paw. My life changed for the better 7 years ago… I was dumped at the shelter with a wire wrapped around my leg. Next thing I woke up with 3 legs… it was time to get on with LIFE! Being a regulator is a full time job but I moonlight as a video star, representing the Tripawds Nation! We have over 1 million views and if “my” video results in the adoption of just one lonely tripawd then I will be the happiest dawg on the planet!

Help send this tripawd to the Dawg House and outta MY house! Pleeeeeze? You can vote every day! Pleeeeeeeeeze? These are the Primaries, whatever those are.

His campaign managers are workin’ overtime!
