So sorry to hear about Etta, I know we keep hoping these guys are just hitting a bump in the road, I just wish it wasn't such a big bump. It sure is funny how even though most of us never meet our tripawd family members we seem to know them so well, and how with every loss it seems we have experienced it seems to touch us all, this just sucks. For all of you who have lost there companion lately and everyone who is on this crappy road, we are so sorry, Gus and myself wouldn't have been able to handle this journey the way we have without each and every one of you, and hope we can help you in some way the way you have helped us. Our sincere sympathy, Gus and Dan
Awe, Dan. That's so sweet.

I'm so sorry to hear of Etta's passing. The Tripawds community has lost too many Tripawd Heroes this week. Our sincerest condolences to your family.

Count me in among those who are saddened by Etta's passing. Her face looks so much like my Daisy, which means Etta was a beautiful girl.
Wishing you some measure of comfort and peace from having so many of us empathizing with you.

Comet - 1999 to 2011She 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.

Thanks for posting the video again… That was her last good day. I think she was whispering in my ear because as I saw her reach for her toys a voice in my head said "capture the good moments."
I am going to try to step back into life today… although it feels more like life is going on around me at the moment. One thing I didn't share before was that my partner is pregnant with twins…. We found out just a bit before we got Etta's diagnosis. We so much wanted Etta to meet the babies and we had visions of "nanny" from peter pan for her! It made us smile! I know she will be taking care of all of us from above. The cycle of life is always in motion, isn't it?
Etta's cat "Chloe" who is in the picture above has been by my side non-stop… She was desperately in love with Etta and we often felt she thought we got Etta for her…
I just want to thank all of you for your warm and kind words about my
gentle angel…. We are desperately heartbroken and being able to check
in here and read all the comments has helped make something so
unbearable a bit easier. I hope I can remain a part of this wonderful site and make others walk on this horrible journey a bit easier….

Julie, congrats on the upcoming human kids! Wow! Etta will definitely be keeping an eye on them for you. I'm sure she was well aware of her new family members and the duties she was going to be called to do.
I think the hardest part about grieving is knowing that life does go on. It's difficult to watch when grief is so new, and beautiful at the same time. While sometimes all we want is for the world to stop so that we can have a proper grieving period, it's not what our dogs would ever want for us. That's now how they live, and we will do well to follow their lead.
You are always, always welcome here. Many hugs to you, your partner, Chloe and the new kids. Keep us posted!

Julie,
Congrats on the new family members!!
I've been calling my other pug Tani the velcro dog- she did not let me out of her sight the first couple of weeks after we let Maggie go, and now three weeks later she still stays pretty close.
There is a reason for the timing of Etta's journey through your lives. When the grief lessens you will realize the strenght you have gained from this experience.

OfflineCongratulations on your twins. They will have a very, very special Guardian Angel to watch over them.
My dearest condolences on the passing of your sweet Etta. I join you in the agony of losing a piece of your heart.
Our beautiful Chaser passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, two days after what appeared to be a successful surgery. The world has stopped. For now.
But instead of focusing on the things that are different and gut wrenching (the empty bowls, not hearing her thunder up/down the stairs or boof when the doorbell rings)…I instead concentrate my energies on the wonderful fact that we had her in our lives to begin with.
Because as difficult as it is to say goodbye…I will never EVER regret having said hello to that beautiful soul.
Congratulations on your new blessings. I'm sure you'll tell those babies all the wonderful stories of your dear Etta.

Chaser has taught you well!
But did she teach you how to catch three tennis balls in your mouth? Now THAT I've gotta see! ;)
Hugs all around. Thanks for such a thoughtful post.
