I'm so utterly sorry for your Murphie! Oh, oh, oh – that is just so much to endure! It's so unfair. I can't even begin to come up with words, other than to say I'm deeply sorry.

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 so sorry to read your post. It is so unfair for you to have lost two dogs so close together. Please know you are in my heart and prayers.

I've been away for a few days, also & am now catching up. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Cancer sure does suck! I too lost both of my pups to cancer, but it was 10 months apart – not one month. I am at a loss for words. Allow yourself the time to grieve. Your love for them will live forever in your heart.

Sending you many golden hugs!

Cathy

Skyler earned her wings and regained her right rear limb on 6/11/2010. Chloe earned her wings and joined her sister Skyler on 4/4/2011.They are now "Happy Together" with all the other Tripawd heroes and other furbabies that are running free at Rainbow Bridge.

I haven't posted since the 19th, you can all imagine the pain I've been dealing with but I wanted to take a moment to let each and every one of you know how thankful I am for the kind words and understanding. I don't know what I would have done without the support I've found here at Tripawds! You all are amazing and kind, thank you again.

As hard as it was, this past Sunday Aug. 21st, I pulled myself out of bed to walk at the K9 Cancer Walk in Denver, CO. It was hard and I cried throughout the walk, but I wanted to honor my sweet babies. Cancer is a horrible, horrible, cruel disease and I only hope we find a cure someday.

I always told Augie he was my heart and told Murphie he was my rock. I adopted Murphie at a point in my life when things were rough and he was my "rock" he held me together, a few months later I adopted Augie "my heart dog" ~ I guess they just needed to be together……..I miss them dearly, the house is so, so quiet…..I find myself about to call for them, feel for them in bed at night and my heart breaks when the smack of reality comes rushing forth. I find comfort in knowing they are together, but so unfair I've been left behind to feel the pain.

I LOVE YOU AUGIE AND MURPHIE………MISS YOU GUYS! SEE YOU BOTH AGAIN SOMEDAY…..XOXO

I tried attaching some pictures but not having luck…….?

Wow, you are truly brave for going to the walk, I'm not sure we could have done it. You are amazing. Thank you for being there for Morris Animal Foundation and all of the dogs with cancer they are helping.

I know it's hard enough to lose one dog, much less two so close together. Give yourself all the space you need to cope with this sudden tragedy, it's a lot to deal with.

As for photos, please check our Posting Images discussion and if you still need help let us know OK?

Augie's mom,

I can't imagine how difficult it is to lose two so close together- I am so sorry for your losses.

I have been to 3 of the MAF K9 cancer walks- one with Maggie, and two since I lost her. I had 4 months after I lost her to prepare- and still had a hard time- It must have been so hard for you. But good for you for walking for the cause! You are very strong and brave.

I hope the coming weeks and months bring a few smiles through the tears. And although they are no longer with you on this earth, I hope you find some comfort in knowing they are together and watching over you.

I have been gone over the weekend and I am just so sad to know that you lost your rock and your heart dog this way. I hope you know that they know without a doubt that you loved them. This is the biggest burden, this pain of loss. I am so very sorry.

Thinking that they are a family again should be of some comfort. When I lost Shy, I was crushed. I lost her mom the previous November. I cried and then was numb when I got home from the vet. I kept telling my girl as she left me to find her mom, to be together again. That evening under the tree's I was just looking out and I saw them side by side. It was just a moment of it, I had already looked away before I realized what I had seen. When I looked back the tree's were the only things there.

I think it was my girl telling me she found her mom, it was all okay. I think her mom was there to let me know that she was taking care of Shy.

I don't discount these experiences, but I have often wondered when I heard of them if it was just longing that made the brain "see" things. I think in this case, it was real. Not because I want it to be so very much, but because I don't ever "see" stuff like this.

So, I think for your Augie and Murphy, they ARE together again. I hope time comes quickly for you and that your pain eases into the comfort of knowing you and these dogs are kindred spirits.

Elizabeth and Sammy

You are in our prayers today.
