Although I have been a member of this site for many months, it is with great sadness that my 1st post is that my beloved Kiara has earned her wings.  She said her final goodbye on Oct 12 and it is only now that I have the strength to make this post.

Oh, she looks like a beautiful girl. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm sure you must miss her terribly, but some day I hope you'll be able to remember her with more smiles than tears.

Sending hugs and sweet Abby kisses,
Jackie, Abby's mom

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman.

So so sorry for your loss of Kiara – what a beautiful girl.  You are in our thoughts and prayers and we hope you find peace and comfort in knowing that she is running free now. 

Our deepest condolences.

Kami & Angel Mackenzie

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!

I am so sorry for your Kiara.  We understand the heartache.  Cancer is so brutal.  May you joy in knowing you got a little extra time with her.

I'm also sorry we hadn't gotten a chance to meet her.  But please feel free to come back and join us and tell us about how wonderful she was. 

My deepest condolences.

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.
