Our wonderful big, loving Cooper lost his battle with his cancer last Friday. Thank you to all who posted and followed my blog. Everyone has been so kind and understanding. This website has been invaluable to us since Coop was diagnosed last May. Thank you just isn't enough. We miss Coop so much, but cherish the short 6 years we had with him.

Cooper, we are so sad to hear this news, you were far too young to leave us. Our hearts ache for you and your family.

Coop, may you get all the bully sticks you want and be surrounded by froggies and turtles so you can bark to your heart's content. Watch over Bella and give a "Woof!" to our Tripawd angels OK?

Run free sweet Cooper, you will be missed.

It's better to hop on three legs than to limp on four.™

I was thinking that too, 6 years just isn't enough. I am so sorry for this loss, he was a beautiful boy. Sending up a prayer right now for you. Bye sweet boy, run free and know that you are loved.

I'm so sorry to hear that Cooper gained his wings, but imagine how beautiful he is with them.

He is running pain free now and being greeted by all the other Tripawd angels that got there before him.

He will always be with you in your heart,
Jackie, Abby's mom

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman.

My deepest condolences for your loss of Cooper. I know life is supposed to be about quality and not quantity, but I can only imagine the heartbreak in losing him so young.

We are here if you need a shoulder to cry on in the upcoming sad days.

She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.

What a beautiful boy Cooper was … I am so sorry he had to leave you so soon. Six years is just not enough time, but what would have been enough?

I know how your heart must be aching — we lost our Sammy a week ago tomorrow. I hope that every day brings you a little less pain, a little more happiness and lots of loving memories.

It helps me to picture a pack of grinning, happy Tripawd angels playing on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge — gleaming in the sun and running pain-free on four healthy legs. This horrible disease robs our furkids of their physical freedom; I can still see Sammy's wistful expression as he watched his brother trot outside to chase their terrible enemies, the squirrels. Although they never had a prayer of catching them, the love of the chase was in their blood. Now he can chase them (and his favorite orange ball) to his heart's content.

Maybe as two of the newest angels, Sammy and Cooper will friends …

— Beth

Smilin' Sammy, March 16, 2004 – Dec. 5, 2011 Golden retriever, diagnosed with osteosarcoma in September 2010 — right front leg amputated November 2010. He fought valiantly to stay with us; but a second diagnosis of osteosarcoma, this time in his left front leg, was more than our golden warrior could overcome. He loved his pack — and everyone else he met.
We loved him even more. Thanks for the pennies, Sammy. They helped.

So sorry to read of your loss. In time, the grief you are feeling will be replaced with all the loving memories you have with Cooper. He is now pain free and is having a blast with all the other angel tripawds & MB's at the bridge.

Sending you many golden hugs…

Skyler earned her wings and regained her right rear limb on 6/11/2010. Chloe earned her wings and joined her sister Skyler on 4/4/2011.They are now "Happy Together" with all the other Tripawd heroes and other furbabies that are running free at Rainbow Bridge.

I'm so so sorry for your loss. This is never easy or fair. What a beautiful boy. One of the things that I always found comforting when I lost my golden Mackenzie at what I thought was a young age (8), is that those years I had with her were quality years. I have to remind myself that I wasn't shortchanged, in fact, I was the luckiest person in the world to have been with the most wonderful dog in the world even for the short 8 years she was with us. It sounds like you were that lucky too.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Kami, Angel Mackenzie, Kobe and Scarlett

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!
