I'm so sorry that I did not see your post earlier.. we went away down south for a week and had a wonderful time.. and yet.. when I came home.. I did have a very, very sad moment.. cause this was the first trip away that Franklin was not there to greet us when we got back...

I was saddened to see that the bridge acquired a few more members while we were gone....   my heart just breaks when I read these posts.. and yet it smiles through the tears when I watch your video....   what a gentle giant!!  What a gentleman!!   

No one knows the pain that we feel in our hearts when we let that leash go for the last time.  No one.. unless of course they have been there.   I can honestly say that even if you have lost a pet before, and you have experienced the emptiness…the pain and the sorrow….. it is not the same.  There is something about a Tripawd running for the bridge that just hits home deeper…  And it is because they are fighters.. they are warriors and princesses.. they have showed us how to Be More Dog ….  and they dig a hole deep, deep in our heart and bury their love for us there, while they live life to the fullest on three legs.  

Harry is still with you.. he's lying right beside you, peacefully and quiet… he'll follow you where ever you go when he visits.  He's leaning against you while you weep.  He'll always be around you.  You see… he is waiting for you to open your heart and feel him.. he's there… always will be.. and nothing can take that away.. not even that nasty "C" word!!!  

I'm not going to say that time heals.. because it's doesn't....  with time we cope easier.. we learn to smile more often when we think or talk about our furbabies.... and you know that this is the place where you can yell, scream, bent and cry cause.. we all understand.... 

Thank you for sharing with us.... 

Christine….. with Franklin in her heart♥ 

Franklin, he was the Happiest Dog on Three Legs! Diagnosed 09/26/2012 with Osteosarcoma, amputated 12/4/2012.  Had a wonderful 5 1/2 months painfree until he ran for the Bridge on 5/15/2013.  Always in my heart, and always a guardian angel of my pack...   You can follow his Tripawd Adventures, before and after, in my blog, Frank'n'Farter!

It's ONLY been two weeks!  Of course it is still raw, how many years did Harry walk, then hop, beside you?  Don't worry what anyone else thinks or says, you have to work your way through your grief at your own pace. Powerful grief is the price we pay for loving so much.

You do have the strenght to get though this- you made all those difficult decisions for Harry and helped him though his cancer battle, and in the end you set his spirit free, not many things are harder than that.

We are here to help you with this part of your journey, however we can.

Remember the bright star you and your friend both saw.....remember that and KNOW Harry's loving light is still shining brightly around you.
And Harry just sent a little "star-lit" message too! Yes he did!

I went to put this little "card" I made for you on photobucket so I could paste/copy the link here for you to see. You kow how there are "advertising banners" across the tops of pages on these things? Well, when I went to transfer the link......the advertisement that popped up (don't even recall what they were marketing, it didn't matter!).......the background.....it was a beautiful midnight blue sky with shiny bright stars sprinkled all across the sky!!

I'm really glad you came here today. You and Harry have all been in our hearts. As Christine said, the loss of a tripawd running for the bridge just hurts deeper. And in Harry's case, swimming flr the bridge"

"Star of wonder, star of night.......first star I see tonight......I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wishe I wish tonight....." superstar

My star wish tonight is for Michelle to feel Harry's loving presence and to be comforted by knowing he is always with her. superstar
