Oh my God, I never expected this.  I saw the Topic and was hoping it wasn't you, some how.  I am so so sorry!  I don't even know what to say to comfort you.  I will pray for her, and you.

I am so sorry, I too was hoping Riley was on the mend.

I hope you find strength in knowing you did your best for Riley, and peace in the good memories.

Oh KaCee and Kurt,

My heart just aches and now the tears won't stop.  I know how much Riley meant to you. She was such a wonderful and beautiful girl.

I remember the first day when you came on tripawds;  we both had our girls with us.  Only 3 days later I would lose mine.  I always felt guilty because Riley's amputation came right after Comet dying.  And then when you and Kurt sent me the beautiful memorial stone for Comet, I literally broke down because of the kindness from someone I hardly knew.  I was so incredibly touched.  Thank you.

Now, my Angel Comet can thank your Angel Riley for not just the stone but for making me smile with all the laughter we had in the last 7 months.

My heart hurts with sadness as I miss your dear Riley.  I'm so sorry.

Hugs,

Ge'Lena

Like everyone else, I was very shocked and saddened to see this post. She was a beautiful girl. I hope you will soon be able to remember her with more smiles than tears.

Run free, Riley.

Hugs,
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.

Oh no, I'm so sorry your precious Riley is gone.  I know there will be a hole in your heart for some time, but please try to remember the good times you shared. She was such a beautiful girl and she loved you just as much as you loved her.
