Spring has arrived here in Italy. I think in some ways it was easier in the winter because I would comfort myself with the fact that it would have been so very cold for my beautiful little Three Paw. Now spring has come though, and the daisies are in bloom, I feel such sorrow.
I try to soak in all the light and colour for my girl as well. I think it is the best I can do at present.
Our Tripawds leave such a beautiful stain on our hearts.

Back in her tripawd days
(((Joanna))) so nice to see you! I have no doubt all of the changes in the seasons will remind you of beautiful Three Paw. She is already enjoying the beautiful weather over the bridge and no doubt has made friends with little Butters and is showing her the ropes. It touches me to see that with all of your sorrow you still come and do good things for other tripawd warriors.
Much love and many hugs,
Jackie

Oh Jackie..yes poor little Butters. I am so glad Three Paw is there. She was a wonderful mother and am sure she will take this little baby under her wing. You know a lot of people talk about their animals being whole again over the rainbow bridge but Three Paw was only ever whole for me. I don't even imagine her with four legs to be honest. She ran so beautifully with two I imagine she has lent them out to others who need more to lean on.
I avoided this site for a while because it made me cry so much. I so desperately wanted to 'belong'. Slowly though I am returning. I am a sobbing wreck by the end of every visit but salt water is the best for wounds so they say.
love to you

Yes, even without the loss of one of your own there can be a great rollercoaster of emotion in here. Sometimes I have to step back, I cannot even imagine how hard it is for you. Know this though, you have made friends here, you and Three Paw both made a huge impact on lots of people and you are loved here. Go at your own pace and only when you are able.
Sending you ginormous hugs from Kentucky

You belonged the first day you guys joined Joanna!
I have no doubt this is hard to be here on any given day with and without our beloved ones! It is for me too! Please do what is best for you! Heal and if you want to come here come and if not we all understand know that ok! I still think you need a blog with all of the beautiful pictures you have of Three Paw and the love you share! You will always share that and love.
Sending love and hugs to you and the Three Paw's spirit!
She was always a happy girl and you knew right from the start what to do for her! Kudos to you always!

It's good to hear from you, I think of Three Paw often and am still awestruck by how well she did. I tell so many people about her!
You will always be a part of this family, we are forever grateful for how you showed us that even on two legs a cat can have a good quality of life. You absolutely belong here, then, now and always.

I just flipped my calendar over to April, and see that it's two of my favorite cats, Three Paw and Huckleberry!

I feel honored to be sharing the month of April with Three Paw
Thank you, I hope all is well with you!!

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Oh it is so nice to think of my Three Paw gazing upon other people's lives for the whole of April..and to share her page with Huckleberry makes me so very happy. Even her vet mailed to tell me that they are both watching him from his desk..which is what we want. Vets to remember our friends and their great courage so should another little warrior darken their door they have the experience and love and knowledge to help them.
Oh dear..here come the tears... not a day passes I am afraid without this heavy sigh in my heart
been thinking about a blog or at least some sort of forum page that goes through her life...
thank you for all your kind words ..and for keeping my brave street angel in your hearts xoxox
