Hi Jon. So glad you dropped by. Just seeing Jersey May's name brought a smile. I always loved her name. I know you miss her terribly. She will forever live in our hearts.

Hi Jon,
I am so glad that you stopped by too. When you lost your Jersey May it was a very sad day for all of us here on tripawds. Your tattoo sounds like a great idea. In fact, seeing those photos of our friends with their tripawd tattoos inspires me to get one too although I've never had one. So go for it! You'll have to definitely post pictures of it when you get it done.
Here's keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. 
Kami, Mackenzie & Kobe
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!

Hi Jon,
It's so good to hear from you. I hope you are well and that peace has found your heart. I don't expect the tears shall ever cease to fall for me Jon...................I just keep from sitting to close to the keypad 
I think the tattoo is a great idea. Make sure you post pictures.
My thoughts and prayers,
Fortis and Brett

Like the others have said before me, I too am glad you are still here, Jon. The tattoo sounds awesome; what a lovely and meaningful tribute to Jersey May.

A friend on another forum took a pawprint she made before her dog with lymphoma went to the bridge, and had a tatoo made matching the print and added the dogs name. It is very touching.

It's wonderful to hear that you are going to do a tribute to Miss Jersey May. If I weren't such a chicken with needles, I'd probably get 3 foot prints tattooed on me somewhere... Can't wait to see pictures! And bless Jersey May.

Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog

Hello! Jack turned invisible almost 3 months ago, and I haven't been here as much as I should either. Last Sunday I met a bunch of pacific northwest tripawd members along with the king and queen (and little prince) of tripawds at a cancer walk, and it was great to be around a group of people who know EXACTLY what you are going through and have been through - we will always be a part of eachother's lives whether we post a lot or not 🙂 Every once in a while I get a big grin on my face and say out loud "I love you baby Jackers!!!" I believe our puppies are never really that far away 😉

Ruthie turned invisible (can I steal that word Laura?) exactly 5 months ago today and I too am sheding a tear just writing this. I know how much you miss Jersey May.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm thinking of getting those cute little paw prints tatooed in memory of my girl. Never thought I'd even think of getting a tatoo!

Wow by the time its all said and done, we alone will keep the tattoo artists in business. Thanks Admin. now I know how to post picts to my forum posts.
I add a few picts to the "pages" section of my blog. Still trying to figure all this out :-}
