Sally asked me to post here my blog post so in case someone missed it.
My sweet Sassy Sugar Bear, I can’t believe 2 years ago I said til we see you again. It seems impossible. It actually seems some days as yesterday. Yes, the grief has lessened it still hurt probably always will but I know you sent Snickers to help with that pain. It doesn’t mean I love you any less in fact some days I couldn’t love you more. I know over the past 2 years that many of our friends have left this world and are up on the bridge with you. I hope you showed them the ropes. ( I know you probably did that was the kind of dog you were). My love & my heart.
Sassy, I know you have been watching over us. I keep finding the pennies & dimes you are leaving. I know you are here. Some days I need you more as I wish you were still here to hug and snuggle with. Please keep a good watch over Grace and Gabe.

Brendol also crossed the Bridge the same day that Sassy did. I am always thinking of Karma and her loss of Brendol when I remember Sassy.
One thing I know without Tripawds and our family Sassy and I wouldn’t have made it through our journey and I still wouldn’t be here to help others in my girl’s memory. Whatever you do and where ever you are in your journey remember there are people here to help you. It may be discouraging and disheartening if you just get the diagnosis of cancer, or your baby loses their leg to an accident we are here for you and there are others who have done this journey too

Thank you, Michelle. You hit the nail right on the head.
Kathi and the Turbotail April Angel...and the Labradork
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!

PS. When I logged in, Sassy's banner was at the top. After I made my first post, Murphy's banner was there.

That is beautiful Michelle! A great way to honor your baby! I wondered how long the pennies and dimes kept coming. I too, still find them. Lori, Ty & Gang
TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.
