We went from one kind of celebration to another. Hard to believe its been 8 months since Sassy & Brendol crossed the bridge. I wasn't expecting Sassy's that day but I guess at least she had a friend with her or met her there when she crossed. I mean I had other furbabies before that probably met her too but Brendol is a special girl and I am glad they are with each other.
Sassy & my journey was a great one. Think of my sweet girl every day as I know Karma does too. Just not the same with our babies.
We miss you girls

Thank you so much Michelle, for also remembering my B. We hate having lost our girls, but I'm glad if I have to do it, I get to share it with you.
Run free sweet girls! Until your mommas get to meet you again.
Adelaide is a young tripawd Husky, from an injury. Her amp was on 10/1/12. She has 4 sisters, Aissa (a senior border collie/chow), Maggie May (a puppy Great Pyrenees), Mathilde and Morrigan and 1 baby brother, Bagheera. We are all watched over by our angel Brendol, who was dx with OSA 1/30/13, amp on 2/6/13, and left us on 8/20/13.

Thinking of both of you-such beautiful girls-sending huge hugs.
Joan and Lily
Our beautiful Lily was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her front leg on 12/14/11 at age 8 and had amp on 12/16/11. She completed 5 rounds of carbo. She was so brave and kicked cancer's butt daily! She lived life fully for 4 years, 3 months, and 15 days after her amp. My angel is a warrior princess. I miss her so much.

So hard to believe how the time goes. There's some comfort in knowing 2 friends passed so close together but I know the pain is still there. Thinking of you both.
Amy & Spirit Libby
Liberty (Libby) was diagnosed with OSA on 1-22-13. Right front amputation on 1-31-13. No IV Chemo. Metronomic Therapy started 2-19-13 along with supplements and some home cooking. Lungs clear until 1-06-14. She's still her happy, hoppy, bossy self. Living the dog life to the fullest and a proud Winter Warrior. :) RIP my Libby 4-21-03 to 3-19-14
