Hard to believe Sassy & Brendol crossed the bridge 5 months ago. I know that I miss my baby a lot and Karma misses Brendol. I also know that these 2 met and became great friends in their journey there. We love you Sassy Sugar Bear & Brendol. Our paths crossed here on Tripawds and we all became great friends and now you continue your journey on the Bridge together.

I hope Sassy and Brendol know how much they were loved and how many people they touched with their fighting spirits. We can never replace them and wouldn't even want to, but we do miss them and wish we'd had them with us longer. They provided much inspiration.
Roxy deserves to have a wonderful birthday celebration. She also inspired many and brought such joy to her family. Such a pretty girl!
Michelle, Karma and Mica, you know we don't forget them, right? They shine brightly in our universe with a light that won't ever go out.

Karma, I know one thing for sure...that Brendol made sure Addy would keep you laughing and smiling just like she did. Just like she did for all of us.. I know you have shared the link with me to her previous videos of catching bubbles snd the "Momma loves me like a rock" video so I can always check back when I need a smile. But the newer people...the ones who have no idea what I'm talking about...would get such a kick out of it. I know it mah be toopainful right now.....but maybe some day.......
Mica! That gente, sweet soul ...thirteen...wow! Thanks so much for lettingnus know! A life welllived is a life well loved and Roxy was immersed with love frommthe very first day she picked you. As I've said probaly a million times...I just love this girl and her picture ALWAYS touches my heart! Every single picture justs warms my soul. HAPY BIRTHDAY SWEET ROXY! Be sure and share your cake! Heck no, forget that part! You don't jave to share because you all can have all the cake you want anytimein doggy heaven!
Surrunding eachof you with love, so much love!

Michelle,
You are a doll for including us in your remembrance. Like you, I can't think of the 20th without also thinking about you and Sassy. Thank you so much.
Mica,
Thoughts with you too on Roxy's birthday. She sent you beautiful Zeus to take care of you and our three girls are happy and healthy together waiting for us.
Everyone else... 
Thank you for your thoughts and kind words. It means a lot to me that Brendol is remembered.
Karma, Adelaide and the crew, and our sweet pea angel Brendol
Adelaide is a young tripawd Husky, from an injury. Her amp was on 10/1/12. She has 4 sisters, Aissa (a senior border collie/chow), Maggie May (a puppy Great Pyrenees), Mathilde and Morrigan and 1 baby brother, Bagheera. We are all watched over by our angel Brendol, who was dx with OSA 1/30/13, amp on 2/6/13, and left us on 8/20/13.
You can read their stories at http://adelaide.tripawds.com and http://brendol.tripawds.com
I did not have the pleasure of "knowing" Brendol, Sassy or Roxy before Tucker and I began this journey.
I however have benefited from the support and compassion of all three of their pawrents so know that each of those beautiful pups were loved and nurtured unconditionally.
Hugs
Linda and Tucker
