It's not how fast you run or how high you jump, it's how well you bounce.
Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end.  On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us. http://ranger.t.....pawds.com/

A poem posted by Pup's Mom. Not sure who the author is:

I lost a special friend today

the kind you can't replace,

and looking at her empty bed

I still can see her face.

I see the endless energy

the sparkling puppy eyes,

Not the tired, fragile friend

I had to bid goodbye.

I remember how she'd run to me

to play her favorite puppy game,

And how her ears would perk right up

When she heard me call her name.

But as those precious years went by

And we both aged and grew,

I'd find her often slowing down

But-we had still so much to do.

It will truly be a struggle

I don't know how I'll face each day,

I have to let her go–I know

But in my heart she'll always stay.

(I love you Pup, and I will miss you forever…)

It's better to hop on three legs than to limp on four.™

Just found this quote about the death of a loved one. I hope it brings comfort to anyone whose heart is hurting tonight

"Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy."

~Eskimo proverb

The 10 Canine Commandments

 

Author unknown

 

1. My life is likely to last ten to fifteen years. Any separation from
you will be painful for me. Remember that when you buy me.

 

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

 

3. Place your trust in me – it's crucial for my well-being.

 

4. Don't be angry at me for long, and don't lock me up as punishment.
You have your work, your entertainment and your friends. I have
only you.

 

5. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understand your words, I
understand your voice when it's speaking to me.

 

6. Be aware of however you treat me, I'll never forget it.

 

7. Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily
crush the bones in your hands, but that I choose not to bite you.

 

8. Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate or lazy,
ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, or I've been out in the sun or in the cold too
long, or my heart is getting old and weak.

 

9. Take care of me when I get old. You too, will grow old.

 

10. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say: 'I can't bear to watch
it', 'let it happen in my absence' or 'I am tired of you'. Everything is
easier for me if you are there. Remember, I love you.

Bravo! If any of them sum up the Tripawds journey, it's this one. Thank you for sharing.
