Oh, I am so,so sorry! my heart just dropped and tears started when I saw this post. It won't seem real for awhile and that is ok. I think it is our brain's way of buffering the shock of it all. Please stay close and come here if needed to yell, scream, cry whatever. We have seen and felt it all. No place else can you find the comfort and support of this wonderful community. I wish I could offer a magic formula to take away the pain and hurt, but I do not know of any. As Christine always says, to love deeply is to grieve deeply( something like that). Run free TI

Oh my, I am so very sorry and shocked to be reading this, this morning.....my heart is broken for you. I read your blog and cried all the way through it. Please know you did everything right, and everything you possibly could for Ti, he was a warrior right to the end. He will never be forgotten here, ever.

It is important to take all the time you need to grieve.....sometimes the heartache will seem never-ending, and to a certain extent, it is very true, but each passing day, week, month, etc., it will get easier to breathe. My Polly has been gone a little over a year now, and still not a day goes by that I don't think of her, and the immense amount of love and sadness I still feel for her. But she is always with me......Ti will stay in your heart always, and always be by your side even if you can't see him.

Keeping you in my thoughts,
Love,
Bonnie & Angel Polly

I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby!

Our hearts break when we read these posts.  We love to share the joys with the successes as well as share the sorrow when we lose one of our Tripawd land pack!  You have to know that our hearts ache along with yours.  Cause the main thing is.. we all understand.   When you love hard, you grieve hard.. I believe that.  !!  If I didn’t grieve hard, it would be a sign to me that I didn’t care that much about my four legged family member.   Besides, how could we not love these three legged mugs that we have shared our life with?

And yes, my cheeks are wet as I type this cause I know exactly how you feel, we have been there, we know and understand.  And there are also many here dreading that day because they have not let go of that leash for the last time yet.. but they know it’s coming… but they are living in the moment.. and being more dog.. and that is what counts.

I’m sorry to hear of Ti’s quick passing, and I am sure you have heard many times that you did the right thing.  Ti told you that you were doing the right thing.  And the blessing in it was that you didn’t have to go through the actions of making that phone call, the last car ride with that “release” being the end result.  We know you were stressed, and worried on your drive, but he was comfortable there, and not in any pain.  AND the most important thing was that you were able to be there with him, hold him and love him to the last beat of his heart… Did you feel that big thunk on your heart when he ran for the bridge?  Do you know what that was?  It was his pawprint that he left there.,  and it will ALWAYS be there!

You know Ti wasn’t having any fun… you saw all the signs… he gave them to you and you listened to him… that’s what counts.  But you know what??  He is having a blast now.. whooosh.. there he goes.. they are all playing bone tag in the meadow.. man.. they are fast!!  Look at them run and jump and get that bone!!  I believe that.. I believe that they are at their prime, young, cancer fee, pain free… and they all get along.. no fights. no growls.. and they snuggle under the stars and share stories of their pawrents.. and they all laugh when they tell each other how easily we were to train… and they know that one day their heads will be cupped in our hands again.

No regrets…   that’s one thing I learned here as I too had many…   but sometimes it takes us a while to realize that we were pretty dawg gone good pawrents… and we are not perfect.

He’s always in your heart… always will be… cancer can’t take that away.  Cancer doesn’t destroy everything…. 

Cancer is so limited

It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit.

and most of all.. it will never destroy the bond and love that you had for each other.. ever!

Christine… with Franklin in her heart♥

I read your blog and posted there as well.  It just broke my heart and had the tears running reading about the end of Ti's journey.  Please stay connected to this community (if you can) while going through the grieving process.  I found this place extremely helpful for me when I had to let my Leland go last June.  I found for myself staying connected here helps to keep Leland's memory alive and at the forefront of my heart.  Right now take some time for you and your family but know that we will always be here for you if you're able to come back.

Hugs
