My god.
Tears in my eyes. You remembered what I tried so hard to forget.

It took me until Sept 2011 to even be able to look at pictures of my girl again.

I never dreamed I would be the one hit that hard when she left. I always felt that since I walked in knowing what she was going through, I would be proud and strong when she left.
I even had plans for how I would help other
Tripawds, volunteer at UCDavis, etc etc.

Then I shut down.

God I miss my girl.

Just last night I closed my eyes, and dreamed I was leaning over to put my forehead on the top of her head, rub that soft spot in her ears, the way we did when she had her cuddly moments (true, they were only in the morning or the late late evening after a good day of RUNNING for 12 hours…..)

She would lift up an eyebrow toward me, give a good sigh and rest her head down. Everytime. As if to say "yep. This is it. This is perfect. You got it down… Just….right…"

I can still smell her head.

I can still reach out and ….

Almost

Feel her

Right

There

Beside

Me….

Thank the gods of the universe and everyone in between for beautiful people like those who started Tripawds.
Thank you for all you have done and continue to do. Words will never be enough to express an pungent how I feel.

May 2001-Jan 21, 2010…..I'm a dog and I'm AWESOME!….. Always.

Mary and Adam, we send all our love to you both today. These markers of time are rough.

Your beautiful, amazing girl is always in our hearts. Few dogs on this earth could catch a tennis ball (or a jack rabbit!) the way she could. She had wings even when she was earthbound.

All of us hope that life is being good to your pack. We miss you all.

Good to hear from you, Mary and Adam (better known as batgirl's parents). I am sorry that your loss still feels so raw. It is especially hard around the time we lose them – I can also imagine Tazzie lying right here, fur and all, and that has been especially vivid the last couple of months.

Caira Sue's antics made our journey so much more meaningful.

Take care of yourselves,

Susan of Tazzie Two

Love from Shelby, the P.P. with the Farah Fawcett tail and her servents.

We have missed you so much!

Everytime I see a tennis ball fly, I get a grin on my face just thinking about how Caira Sue could catch a ball 4 foot off the ground!

We are getting together on April 14th for The Western US Tripawd, quad paw, penta paw, Angel Pups and their Peep's git together, we would love to see the both of you and Pop's and his psychotic, neurotic terrier, Mill Valley Dog Park, 11AM.

It would be wonderful to see you again.
