I read this early this morning, but didn't have time to give it a proper reply. Caira Sue definitely touched a lot of lives. How could she not, she had such love for life. The videos and pictures always portrayed her zest for life, they always gave (and still give) us hope that all tripawds will have the good days Caira Sue had.
My heart breaks for you as you adjust to a new life with a spirit dog. It sounds like her presence will continue to guide you, and I can't tell you how awesome I think that is. As with those whose journey ended before yours, my hope is for you to heal quickly, and embrace the wonderful memories you carry of our hero.
Now for a proper ending, (since my signature ending refers to the bridge).
RIP Caira Sue. Run free in our hearts forever.

Dear Mary and Adam: Our hearts are breaking here. Your tribute to Caira Sue is beautiful, full of joy and energy and sweetness, much like the girl herself. You were our first friend here in Tripawds world—the first to respond to our blog and wish us well on our journey with Romeo. The first time I found Jerry's site your blog was up with pictures of Caira Sue in her new post-surgery shirt (floral I think) from Goodwill. She looked absolutely adorable and full of joy. And proud! You gave us hope. It seems right that Caira Sue's bravery will now give hope to countless children and their families as well.
You were right to set her free. Caira Sue seemed all about joy and love and having adventures. I understand you did not want to see her suffer. I know Caira Sue will be watching over you. You both seem like amazing people. Lucky dog. Lucky parents. Your special family really translates across the miles. We truly wish we could give you all a big hug.
May you be across the Wimbledon of Tennis Ball Bridges Caira Sue! We know you have some good friends waiting to play with you!
Love, Eve, Sylvia, Greta, and Romeo

Mary and Adam, I just read the news. I knew it was coming, but it still seems wrong. Your tribute to Caira Sue is beautiful and it's easy to imagine her running, jumping, chasing and being her sparkling self in the perfect realm. I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to know her a little bit but it makes the news that much harder to bear. And you guys…I'm so sad with you and also I celebrate Caira Sue with you–you gave her a wonderful life which she grabbed like a tennis ball and ran with.
Many tearful hugs and leans
Mary, Cemil, Radzi, Alle and Mujde

Oh my goodness Mary……….My heart goes out to you and Adam. I do know how much you miss your girl, I also know how you feel her presence….I swear I have heard Paris' dog tags several times in the past 2 weeks!
I am so glad that you gave Caira Sue a full life and tons of love right up to the end…….no regrets. You were blessed to have her in your life and she was blessed as well with wonderful pawrents.
I suppose Caira Sue and Paris are running on four along with all that have gone before them.
I send you love and care, Ginny & Angel Paris

Grateful for every moment we had with Paris…..no regrets!

Mary and Adam,
Words cannot express how sorry we are to hear of the loss of Caira Sue, and would like you to accept our deepest sympathy. Meeting Caria Sue from your postings has given us a wonderful insite into a spectacular family and the strong bonds amongst its members. It was an extreme privledge to meet you at the January Mill Valley gathering and to be impressed with the awesome Caria Sue. I was impressed with the attitude, energy, exhuberance, and general great spirit that she display so very well during this time.
I now feel so inadequate in my ability to convey the feeling of loss that we and all the members of this community feel now. You were extremely great pawrents. We know the pain you are feeling just now. Some day, you will be able to take some consulation in the fact that you gave her a spectacular full life, and when presented with the horrid diagnosis, you continued to provide her with a wonderful and full life. We will tip our hats to you in admiration all that you have done for Caria Sue, this community, and through the learning experiences at UD Davis, to others who may soon be passing into this journey. For all of this, we thank you. Above all, know that you will never be without Caria Sue for the gifts that she has given you will be with you forever.
Praying for the day when you can find peace once again.
Bob – Spirit Cherry's Dad
PS: Please forgive me for being late to this thread. Logging on has become extremely difficult emotionally. Luckily, we were still in the numb phase for the Mill Valley gathering.

Mary and Adam,
I am so sorry for your loss. Just like everyone else has said her love of life, her will to fight, your love for her, is such an inspiration. It looks like she won the doggie lottery when you two adopted her and she brought so much to you in return. I hope you find the strength to deal with loss and get comfort in feeling her presence.
No resting, Awesome Spirit Caira Sue will just keep truckin on,
Karin

Caira Sue! I never met you but I virtually loved you. Thank's for being such an AWESOME tripawd. You inspired me every single day. I can't help but cry for the fact that you are not on earth anymore but you are in my heart FOREVER!
Mary and Adam, all my deepest thoughts to both of you. I am so sorry for your loss

Mary and Adam – I'm so sorry….we've been away most of January and am just getting caught up here at tripawds. She was a rockstar until the end – proud and strong and graceful. You go girl.
Zeus comes to me in my dreams and I often catch a sight of him out of the corner of my eye – he is still a tripawd which doesn't surprise me because he was so incredible proud of being one.
If we didn't love so much, we wouldn't hurt so much.
Here is to purple, orange, red and green tennis balls…blue and yellow too. Run free Caira Sue – Zeus loves the tennis ball too if you want to share a catch with him.
Love and prayers ~
Zeus' mom

It has been awhile since I have been here, but came to check and see how the crew is.. Of course Caira Sue was at the top of my list, the 2 named girl dawg. I am so sorry…. The only thing I can offer is the hope of seeing them once again, that is my hope all the time…I know what you are saying about feeling them after they are gone and I have no doubt Caira has not left you nor ever will… 
Peace…..
