Lexie,

I just read your post and and wrote you a note there but I wanted to say again how truly sad I am for your loss and know how much you loved your beautiful Daisy. She was a brave girl who will be sorely missed by all of us. crying

Kami (Mackenzie's Mom)

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!

Once more words are failing to express my feelings as I stare with disbelief and through tears at this horrible news, but we would like you to accept our deepest sympathy at this time. Your tribute is wonderful and like you I attempted to "celebrate" life when this time came. Know that like so many here in this community, we do understand how empty you feel now. You clearly have created many wonderful memories with Daisy and it will be these memories that will sustain you. You will never be totally without Daisy for the gifts that she gave will be with you forever.

In hope that the day when you can remember Daisy with a smile will be soon, you will be in our thoughts and prayers. Long distance hugs from a transplanted Mid-West boy.

Daisy, sweet girl, you will be missed. Lexi I'm so sorry for your loss. It always breaks my heart when an angel crosses the bridge, but being right behind you at 21 months, and reading some of the comments in Daisy's memorial, this is particularly sad for me.

Grieve your loss, be kind to yourself. May your pain soon be replaced by only happy memories.

RIP sweet Daisy. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.

Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.

Diane and I are so sorry to hear of your loss. Daisy looked like a really good girl, and my wife always kept close track of your posts (we have a soft spot for labs). Our thoughts are with you.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I am absolutely stunned. Daisy looks so much like my Etta I would swear they were litter mates… what are the odds….And if they were they are now reunited across the bridge. What a very sweet and gentle soul and how very lucky that you both found each other. Please know my thoughts are with you and may you find comfort in the memories of your beautiful girl… julie (angel etta's mom)

Our angel "Etta" amputation on 4-15-10 lost her front limb. initially dx'd with neurofibrosarcoma. However, after surgery they discovered histiocytic sarcoma a very aggressive cancer. After two full rounds of chemo our special angel lost her battle on 6-21-10. the sweetest and most gentle soul. Our lives are forever blessed for having known her...

Dear Lexi,

As you know, I loved your story of you finding Daisy at the shelter 1 month after Molly passing. And then remembering you talking about the timing of some guy almost getting Daisy before you! It was such a close call! Poor guy. But gosh, what a wonderful 21 months you had with her!

As I've told you, bless you for rescuing an older dog and giving her the most love she could ever imagine. I know she wasn't with you long enough and she certainly wasn't with us long enough. But I hope you know that your pain is felt by all of us fellow tripawds. And even though we didn't get to be together long, she was very memorable and so lovable.

I send you my deepest condolences. I imagine she looks like this in dog heaven with the wind blowing her ears.

Many giant hugs to you and your family.

She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
