Today we said goodbye to our beloved Daisy girl. 
Please see my post at http://daisy.tr.....ys-life/
Daisy, 12 years young, had left forelimb amp on 5/19/2010 due to osteosarcoma. She left her body behind and joined the other spirit tripawds on 7/16/2010.
So grateful for each day with her!
Lexi (Daisy's momma)
I am so sorry!
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers at this time.

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.
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.

Daisy, a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. Godspeed. You may be gone in body, but you will live on in your Mom's heart.
Look up all the other Tripawds who have gotten to The Bridge before you.
Take care in this sad time Lexi. Remember her smile.

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.
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She 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.
I am so sorry to hear about Daisy! I just lost my Toto, and I share in the pain you are feeling. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this time.
