Pam,

Kona looks so sweet in the picture with her half-eaten toy. You can see she was loved and happy. We're so sorry you lost your girl - no words can take the pain away.

You have been there for many of us who have gone through the most difficult times with our tripawds – and want you to know we care and feel your sadness.

Big Hugs from Angel HoneyGurl's Pack.

Dx Osteosarcoma  3/31/10.  Amputation 7/21/10. Honey put up a valiant fight and lost her battle 9/22/10. Missing her and treasuring 9 years with our Honeygurl.

Pam, I am so sorry that you had to say goodbye to Kona. Bless you for giving that pittie such a good life. I just met a rescue pit the other day at vet who was so precious and sweet I wanted to bring him home. They are very special dogs.

Thinking of you.

Pam,

I'm so sorry for your loss. Kona sounds like she was a very special and beautiful girl.  Like everyone said, you gave her a wonderful, loving life. How lucky for both of you.

Kami, Angel Mackenzie and Kobe

My sweet golden Mackenzie.  She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2  although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home.  She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009.  She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes.  I love you Mackenzie!

Dear Dr. Pam,

I know that Kona was your 'heart dog' and I am so sorry you had to let her go.

You had a fantastic life together and from that love, you continue to share your expertise and compassion with other pups and their owners; both here on Tripawds and in your own family pack.

Pam,

I wanted to post publicly my condolences for your loss of Kona.  I know you told us when we were there at Sammy's appointment, but I wanted you to know I understand and feel so sad for your family.  She sounds like the leader of your crew and a very important part of your family.  The hardest part about loving dogs is having to let them go.

They give homes a sense of family, make our lives full and fun, and give us a sense of being needed.  When they leave it is like a huge whole has been torn the fabric of our home.  I am sorry.

Please give Julian a big squishy hug for me.  I love that dog!

Pam you help so many souls here as well as @ your practice.  I can only hope the sediments here help you in return and also that I can do as well caring for Alex that you have for Kona. You gave Kona a second chance and what a lucky girl she was to have you.  Bless you…
